42 Farmall H progress report....

Got a good day in on it today! Dad helped me put in the sleeves this morning (if I knew it was going to be that easy I would have done it myself!) As soon as they were in far enough to line up they fell right into place! Took ya'lls advice and removed the oil filter mount to make it easier to get in the tractor. Everything went together perfectly - well almost. I would have almost got it running tonight yet if we wouldn't have run into problems with the valves/rocker arms. Somebody screwed up somewhere because when I put the rocker shaft on all the valves were tight and I couldn't adjust them! We figure either my parts man ordered the wrong valves or the machine shop got the new seats in a little too far. We made spacers to go under the pedestals to raise everything up and it's perfect now. Over 100 psi compression on each cylinder and it hasn't even ran yet!! See pics below...
