These old engines will let you get away with more than modern engines, Dad ran Hs and Ms over 40 years (also had newer diesel tractors) and have seen him overhaul lots of engines in tractor shed using common sense as to what needed to be done. Head always went to machine shop and usually he put in sleeves and pistons but, if crank, cam, etc. passed visual check nothing was done to them. When the Ms were main tillage tractors they were often run 16 to 24 hours a day for couple of months when preparing land and overhauled engines usually lasted about as long as original new engine. Contrary to what many on forum seem to think 3 to 5 years 3K to 5k hours was pretty good life span for hard working gasoline engine in those days. 3K to 5K hours would be eqivalent to 1k to 2K miles on car and VERY few car engines ran that long in those days.
