Finally, the end is in sight....
Tonight, I decided to spend a few minutes with the Farmall M. I have found the more I stand there and look at it, and just, "think" about things, the better I am at finding/fixing what is wrong...
I had planned on doing that tonight, until I saw the issue...
1st, 1 of the studs that holds the rockers on was GONE, replace that. 2nd, 1 of the rockers adjusting nut was GONE, replaced that. 3rd, ALL of the rockers were too tight, by 1 to several thousands, fixed that. 4th, the throttle linkage was WAY out of wack, (causing it to not rev up)so I adjusted that. 5th, got the air cleaner and tube put on. 6th, put the battery in........
With high hopes, I pulled the kill switch, full choke, half throttle, and hit the starter....
I don't think it made it through all 4 cylinders before it roared, and YES, I mean ROARED to life!!! Thing runs like a beast!! Sounds A W E S O M E!!!!! Smoooooth running, good oil pressure, and everything just looks good.... :)
Going to finish up a few things tomorrow night and Thursday morning, then it is going to be pulling a disc all day Thursday! :) GO time!!!!
Feel so proud and accomplished. Has been a LONG struggle to get this ole girl going, but I am so so so so SO happy now that it is! :)

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
