1926 McCormick-Deering home, Where to Start?

Posted by ViperDave on November 15, 2007 at 15:07:38 from (148.78.54.134):

I have posted pics of the 1926 coming home. Where now do I start???

I confirmed with my uncles that the motor had been rebuilt and never started, parked in the woods for 50+ years.

I pulled the head off of the tractor. The pushrods came out ok, some of the values move very easy, the other are sluggish. A couple of the values still have a grease pen marking on the bottom with the # of the position of the value during the rebuild!. The pistions are pretty rusted. The crank looks almost new with a little bit of surface rust.

The transmission shifts but the clutch seems froze. I have heard of a local engine builder, have a media blaster and a paint guy lined up. Do i pull the motor and give to the motor guy or take the whole tractor? What is the order for attacking this project? I need to go get the 1927 and see which one I should rebuild first.

I need one of the tractors ready for a show on Labor Day of 2009. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dave
