I picked up a nice 1946 Farmall A. (actually, it's an AI, industrial). Previous owner gave up on it as it kept getting stuck, even after local truck shop, "fixed," it. I think it's got a bad wet sleeve o-ring and it keeps taking on coolant which sticks the engine. More on that if needed.
Anyway, I brought her home and put it inside, which made the tractor happy since it's been out for the past few years.
I pulled the valve cover and rockers, etc., look crystal clean. I'm pretty sure the truck shop overhauled the cylinder head. I want to pull the head to inspect the cylinders. Then I'll have to wait until Spring, at least, to be able to afford to have the engine repaired correctly. Of course a few of the head bolt nuts are under the rockers to some extent, and I suspect any shop would just pull the rocker arm first. However, in the interest of keeping things roughly together until Spring, can I pull the head without removing the rocker arm?
Thanks, Dennis --- pretty happy with his new find.
