Hi guys, never thought anything would ever happen like this. We have got an A, My younger brother and i wanted to get it going today, So i got on the M, he got on the a and we towed it, It ran for about 5 seconds then she stopped. So I said to my brother, Get on the M and i'll see if i can keep er goin. I made sure i told him to let the clutch out slow to make the chain tighten up. Well, guess what happened, he was letting it out slow then he popped the clutch. I told him to let it out SLOWLY. So he towed me back up the laneway, then he said, Whats that oil from? I got of the tractor and there was a crack. You know where you put the oil in the M's and H's, Well the crack started by that spot on the A and went down to the pan. What happed was, the chain was around the tube at the front about a 4 in pipe where the tie rods hook on to. The block , steering box and the tube are all conected, so when he popped the clutch it yanked everything and made the block crack. So i figured out today that you cant teach a person to tow, even after many times of explaining it. So i will tow from now on. Now, can a block be welded? if not how much would an other one cost?
As a Friend of mine says. $H!! happens. This is Another learning thing!

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
