Hi all,I have a ~'39/40 (serial unknown) Farmall A. Last time I started her up, I got a shower of antifreeze. It has only been run a little bit in the past year, and never showed any signs of overheating, so I'm guessing (and praying) that it's a blown head gasket. I have several of the popular books on restoring tractors, as well as the shop manual for the A/B, and am reasonably adept at backyard mechanics. I'm wondering two things. First, where's the best place to buy gaskets, and second, are there any particular pitfalls I need to be wary of when I launch into this? I've never removed a head (from anything bigger than a Briggs & Stratton), and I guess I'd like something (or someone) to kind of hold my hand on this. Actually, I also really need to replace the manifold, as it's had a replacement exhaust pipe crudely welded on it at some point, and is really in need of replacement. My muffler sits raked back at a jaunty angle due to this pipe being put in crooked all those years ago. Thanks for any and all advice. I sure wish I had the serial number off this baby.. Tks! Butch
