I am trying to find a replacement block for my A model Farmall - Serial Number FAA 11111 0 (both on the block and on the tractor). After researching, it looks like it is a 44 model. I am concerned after reading some posts and speaking to folks, that any "A" block may not be the same. Is that true, or will any A block replace another A block?

I am in Knoxville, but travel the entire area of E. TN. on my day job. It may be too little too late on the block. I have one coming from Virginia. What else do you have? E-mail me at adsell1@wmconnect.com

Thanks

 Low oil pressure A in reply to abdsell, 02-25-2007 09:17:03  
This is like edge of red zone after hour or two in summer. No water pump. Rad supposed to be OK. Added electric fan in addition to belt fan and heavy oil, helped a little. I took it from sitting out for 10 years and got the engine free, replaced the valves, head and gasket. Had the pan off but forgot to look at pump. Thanks for all the tips and short cuts. I will pull the pan, check mains, and try some things on oil pump. Appreciate all the input.

There is a block or two on ebay, but shipping is a killer on big items.

You have too many numbers in your serial, the last A (or B) serial is 220829. 44's were 96390-113217. Any block will fit. It's what's inside the block that is different, depending on when it was made and whether or not it has been bored.

First of all what exactly is wrong with it?????

If it's just freeze cracks then why don't you just weld them up. Do you have any pics of the block that you can post????

Sorry, no pics. The crack is very bad, and in my opinion, not worth repairing.

and does the deck look like this????

Then if so it's worth it to me and I'll gladly adopt it if you are getting rid of it. :)

It looks nearly identical to the second picture, but maybe slightly worse. Such a critical area, none of the local machine shops seem to want to touch it. How would you repair that effectively, and I work my tractor pretty hard - mowing about 6 acres every week or week and a half. Thanks for the advice.

Shoooot! That's not bad at all! In fact...that bottom pic isn't my deck but another guys here. Mine was muuuuuch worse. My cracks were almost 3/16" between cylinders. Now if this was a solid cast block then yeah it would be critical but since it's a sleeve engine it doesn't make that much a difference unless your sleeves wiggle in the cylinders. Most of the time it's just a superficial crack. Check the head and deck for warpage and if you find none then you know it's just an expansion crack from freezing.

If you have external cracks then that's what you need to worry about. If none of the deck cracks run out to the edge of the block then you're all cool. To fix the external cracks you take an angle grinder and ding into the cracks to form a V with the crack in the center and then follow up with a good bead of weld from your arc welder. Use a good quality rod, nothing fancy, but not one of those cheapo types. Use your acetelyne torch to preheat the crack to a dull red and move the torch along the crack to maintain the heat just in front of where you are welding. After you're finished you can dress down the bead flush and hit it with a coarse bead blaster to simulate the cast surface. (if you want to go that far)

Oh Yeah! If you are worried about the crack expanding then drill into each end of the crack and that will stop it from growing.
