I am definately going to need a rod. #2 looks like a pretzel. The rest look good, but will have them checked out when I get them out. If they are bent, they aren't bad enought that hey can't be straightened.
I was talking to Gordon Rice today, and he thinks she will be just fine. I will be able to tell better when I get the pistons out. I am going to leave the engine on the tractor for now. Will drop the rod caps, and let the pistons soak in blaster for 2-3 weeks, then I am going to try the deisel fuel and light it technique. Warm her up a bit, then try tapping them down. The valves are all shot, and I am not sure yet whether there is enough material to grind new seats, or whether I'll have to have seats installed (plenty of room in there though to do that). Not sure yet what the guides look like. I already priced valves and springs.......ouch. With new valves, should probably consider doing the guides at the same time.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
