Finally, one week ago, I got to taking the 45 A apart and had the head rebuilt. The piston rings were so flexable, it was like rubber (litterialy). So I got the rings in thursday and got em in at 11:00 pm. I finally got the head and engine gasket set on friday and it cost 300.00 for the 3 items. The head had 4 bad valves, and all the springs needed to be replaced. The gasket set is really nice; it even comes with crankshaft seals! I got it together friday night and what do you know I just had to have more of a challenge, so I screwed up the timing (no, not on purpose). The timing got so bad the first time it backfired and blew the muffler off. So I clamped it on. THE SECOND time it backfired even worse and the whole top half of the muffler flew up and hit the barn ceiling. HEADS UP!! LOL. I called it a night. The next morning I turned the mag half way and it started right up-and believe me-theres something sweet in the sound of a Farmall engine you've put time into!!
I also put a nice Super A front axle on it for better steering, the bigger spindles for strength and a tow bar. And I went out and bought a brand new (STRONGER!) muffler and spark plugs for it and it sounds real good now! If this weather gets warm in the spring the 46 BN, 41 A, and this A are getting cleaned up and are getting paint and decals.
Well, thats what I've been doing!

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
