Last week I posted about taking an A to its (our) first show. Came home with lots to do on a tractor that was supposedly restored. First, head gasket was leaking oil so I pulled the head. I put a torque wrench on one of the nuts to check it and found that it was only about 25-30 ft/lbs so no wonder it leaked. When I got the head off I could still read where the gasket said "Sealer/retorque required"--no sealer either. What I did find was pop up pistons and new sleeves that all had the 'B' codes stamped on them--matched set. Also found new valves, springs etc. AND the offset rockers for valve rotation. At least now I know why it turned over so slow with the 6 volt starter. Second, I decided that since I would have the whole front off I would add a water pump. More to stabilize the running temp than any other reason. I found one at Ag Ind products for $70 that said A,B series and had the wide belt pully already on it. Cheap enough but won't work-center hub of pulley and shaft stick out too far for the fan to clear. I could take the pump down to a shop and have the extra cut off but I don't know if there would be enough 'meat' left to keep the pully from spinning on the shaft, it looks pressed on. So, where can I get one that will clear the fan, or do you think the cut off idea will work???

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
