Yes you are right, I was going into this project alone for two reasons, one to learn something and two because I could not get anyone local that I know that has mechanical ability to come give me some guidance. I was in the mindset to do this project in frame. After reading Tractor Vet's reply I will have to think about which way to go with the engine. In your opinion what do I need to look for (Engine wear wise) to determine if I should have the engine completely redone like Tractor Vet recommends versus just having the head serviced and a sleeve and piston kit put in? I have put about 1500 hours on it since I bought it. When I purchased it the tach only read 976 hours (I knew this was not actual)- I did not know if maybe someone had done some service to the engine and reset the tach or what. So back to the fork in the road - I am guessing there are bearings and seals on both ends of the crank and cam. Are these going to go out 500 hours after just putting the in frame kit in it? More questions to make sure I have another sleepless night. By the way, looking up from under the tractor the crankcase is perfectly painted IH red. Is this an indication that a complete overhaul has been done at sometime? Thanks for any info, Scott

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
