Here's my routine. No expert but I've done 3. Fill the cylinders with trans fluid and let it soak. In the mean time pull the oil pan and clean. Pull the oil pump and clean the pick up screen. Pull the valve cover and see what's up under their. You can depress the valves that aren't already down. Pull the carb and soak it and rebuild. Clean out the gas tank. Check out the ignition, wiring, starter etc. It usually takes me a couple weeks or more in what little free time I have to get all this done. I do rock the tractor in gear occasionally to see if it is loose. All 3 came loose. My 53 SH was too bad to even try to start but my rational is all the work described needed to be done anyway. $4500 later it is 95%reconditioned and runs perfect. The 52 H had good compression and good power but smoked. The Super C I am currently working on started right up and works fine no smoke and good compression. I am the second owner and according to the guy I bought it from his grandfather bought it new in 53 and passed in the late 80's. Near as we can tell the tractor sat for over 20 years. We had to unbury it from the shed that had collapsed on it. No water got in this motor. That helps alot. All you can do is start the process and see what needs to be done.

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
