Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to invest in some equipment, now; dang it, that's really gonna cut into my spray paint budget! I have some reference books coming, so the clearances and procedures should all be in one of them or another. Could a bad head gasket really be the cause? That would be nice- to have a simple thing like that fix such a major problen. However, I'm pretty sure this tractor was not taken care of, because when I opened the breather there wasn't a drop of oil in it. In fact, there wasn't even an oily film to indicate there had ever been any oil in it, but there was plenty of rust, so maybe the previous owner(s) had decided a "water-bath" system was better. (eyes rolling) Seriously, tho', I can only imagine what kind of dust and grit went straight into the cylinders to score and scour the rings and walls, so I'm sure it needs at LEAST a ring job. But if you think replacing the headgasket is worth a try I'm game for it, especially if it might would give me enough power to run the belly mower through this summer. I won't depend on it working, but there's always a little chance of it working, right? Besides, I'll be able to see just how bad the rings and sleeves are while I have the head off.

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
