Hi again Otis,
Boy, ya gotta be carefull when some one says "Rebuilt". It could be anything from a full blown overhaul, or just simply haveing a new set of rings installed, some lapped valves, and a fresh coat of paint. When was the engine overhauled? 10 years ago? last week? When I bought my "A" last summer, I bought it as a "parts" tractor for next to nothing. It had good compression and spark. When I got it home, I dumped some gas in it and 3 cranks latter, it was running like a top, no smoke or anything. THEN, I put water in it, and it was down hill from there. I took the head off and found a cracked block. Further tear down found a cam gear that came loose from the cam, and destroyed the cam, cam gear, crank gear, and governor. Man, what a mess. So, make sure that you take a real good look at the whole tractor, not just the engine. My engine made a rattling sound when I ran it up against the governor, and I thought it was just the valve train, but was the loose cam gear. so listin close to the engine for strange sounds. Dont know what else to tell ya. let us know how ya made out.
