I own a Ferguson TO-30, when I bought it it ran reasonable and I stupidly didn't run it for about 2 years and it is now set-up. I was attempting to remove the head with a friend of mine and we found that the front left stud is rusted between the block and the head and we can't get the head off!!What should I do????? ? I soaked it down with WD-40.

John, I was able to get the head off today, the stupid part was that after i had the head off-- I was able to hand crank the engine. I am planning a rebuild on the head. The next stupid question is-- on the left side of the engine, above the plugs; how should one torque the nuts down?

Regarding the nuts by the spark plugs...Try a crowfoot wrench with torque wrench. Or, you can just use a standard box or open end. Torque values may change with the crowfoot slightly, but it's better than busting a stud.

I just read your situation with torquing the head bolts and i'm sure i'm too late but if not here is what I did to my TO-35. When I installed the head I took an 11/16 box end wrench and an old cheap socket and made a 2 inch extension from center to center. This worked perfectly for torquing the nuts on the spark plug side of the head. You will also need a conversion formula which is really quite simple. I can e-mail that too you if you still need it. Also, to keep from changing from extension to socket and back so much I used the extension for all the nuts even though it was a little tight in a couple of places. Sorry its so late but I thought it might help.

Try a little heat from a torch and tap on it with a hammer at the same time. If that does not work then drilling is about it. Good luck.
