Yup, almost two years after being pulled from the remains of the the blacksmith's shop where it sat for nearly 40 years my Regular has moved again, this time 300 miles south to my parent's house. The day after the "Big Move" dad and I set at it. Originally I just wanted to take off the F20 manifold, but that wouldn't come off without taking off the hood so to do that we had to take off the control rods and steering wheel. With the hood off we wondered if the head bolts would turn. They did and off came the head. After playing around with different sprays on the pistons, "Gun Scrubber" seemed to eat the carbon real good, we noticed that the radiator was only held on with 6 bolts, off with that and the fan shroud, air cleaner and the plate under the radiator. Finally with the girlfriend pushing to head home we cleaned the gun scrubber out of the cylinders and filled them with marvel oil, put a cardboard box over top and tarped up good. The head is in really good shape, it'll need to be tanked, but I don't think its cracked and the valves all came loose with a couple gentle taps. The next job will be to get a spring compressor and take 'em off in prep for the tanking. Depending on what it looks like when it comes back it might not need much else. Hopefully the marvel oil combined with the gun scrubber from before will be enough to get the pistons free. The next job there will be to drop the pan and have a look at the crank, who knows what we will find. Pictures will follow pretty soon. Dad and I both had cameras on hand for the loading and unloading and of course didn't get any pictures. I have some footage of the tractor on the trailer the night before coming home and dad took some pictures as we left for home. I also took some shots of the teardown. I've surely got my work cut out for me!
