OK, I got the #8 valve moving (it was stuck). Had to remove head. Got everything cleaned up. Put on new head gasket, blue side up. Tightened all nuts a little at a time until all were finally at 65#. I then put rocker arm assembly on and tightens the three nuts to 50#. Now I need to adjust th valve lash. Not much help in the IT book. Found these directionsnon line, do they sound right?
" Bring No1 piston (near the radiator) to TDC on the compression stroke and adjust valves 1,2,3 & 5 counting from the radiator. Then rotate engine one full turn and adjust 4,6,7 & 8. Set them at .017" cold"
If this is not correct, anyone have a set of directions for me?
On a side note, I also took oil pan off. There is one heck of a huge dent on the back (furthest from radiator). I can see where it was brazed. It does not leak. I cleaned the screen on the float for the oil pump it was filthy. I'm afraid to take dent out because it may crack then I have to buy a new pan.

It is fun working on it with my 13 year old son. Starting to get expensive though.

Today's Featured Article - A 1937 John Deere Unstuck - by Gary Hickman. Here is my story of how I got the pistons out of a 1937 JD B that the engine had been stuck for about 14 years: About 12 years ago my Dad gave me one of the tractors I ran as I was growing up on our farm in central Nebraska. The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
