I am attending Middle Tennessee State University and for one of my classes we are rebuilding a Farmall M. I just wandered if anyone had any pointers or knew of anything that might cause me problems when doing this. Our group actually ended up with a tractor that was partially rebuilt last year but the group just messed things up more so it looks like tearing the whole engine down and putting it back together again. Anyway if anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.

Not knowing what the knowledge curve is of your group concerning rebuilding an engine or a tractor for that matter, I would say you are only limited by the talent contribution of each of your group. If you are tackling this rebuild as the groups leader, you need to find out the talents and knowledge base of each of your group members. Start with a checklist of what you have and what you need to do to get the engine rebuilt and running correctly and the rest of the tractor back into specs. You should have a good quality service manual for the tractor and engine, a good source for replacement parts lined up and a parts manual would be an added asset to be able to identify each part and the sequence of either teardown or putting it back together. Do not assume anything the last group did or did not do or you may end up in the same shape and place they did.

Hi, Bob gave you very good advice. When you start the engine teardown do not remove parts and
just throw them in a pile. Separate each section of the engine. As an example when you remove the
cylinder head put all parts related to the head together. All of these parts will have to be cleaned prior to the rebuild. The same goes for the oil pan. This procedure is so you do not have to be rooting through a pile of bolts when you start your engine assembly. Take a few pictures prior to teardown and during it. Have fun doing it.

For any machining find a well known machine shop in your area that will stand behind his work. Good Luck, Hal
