Well, there is good news and bad news. I have aquired F&H front spoke wheels with tires included with 90% tread on them. Picking the rears up at the winter convention. got underneath the engine today, and things look a bit worse than I originally thought. Front main bearing is rusted pretty badly, rear main is clean. ALL cam lobes are heavily rusted and lifters too.
I haven't got the caps off the connecting rods yet, but looking on the outside, #2 and #3 are VERY rusty. #1 and #4 look clean. I am worried that #2 and #3 journals may be toast, but won't really know that until I get the caps off, and as I stated before, #2 connecting rod is a pretzel. Oil pump is stuck in the block, and I am trying to figure out how to get it out without busting it.
Took the clutch inspection plate off, and to my total amazement, NO RUST! No mouse nests, NADA! so, for whatever reason, the clutch looks in very good shape. Peddle works good, and will test if the pressure plate is stuck or not tomorrow.
So, the only things so far on the engine that looks good is the block and the head. I will have to have new seats installed in the head with guides, etc. but the head otherwise looks good.
I won't make any final decisions until I get the engine out and the rod journals exposed, but engine may be toast except for parts.

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
