I need a little incite from someone that has more knowledge than what I have. I have owned my 1940 Farmall H since 1975 s/n 39402 and it always burned oil #2 cylinder. When I bought it, it wasn't running, I had to replace a broken hub clamp, replace the mag caps points condenser, then plug wires and spark plugs. Had to rebuild the carb just to drive it home. It had a rod knock so I slipped a set of rod bearings in it. Through the years I rebuilt the head #8043 with new valves, guides, and springs. Install a small diameter alternator what was used on Chrysler products and also used there solid state regulator. Later in time as the magneto got weak, I bought a distributor 90 degree angle, which was junk, so I took a 360 ci Chrysler distributor "no vacuum advance" and machined it to work then filed every other lobe off the reluctor and used every other terminal on the cap. I used a Mr Gasket spring kit using the light springs which brings the timing advance close to the production curve. I used the Chrysler E.C.U. also. Enough history. I want to put a 1956 crop row 300 engine s/n 57639 into the H chassis and found some differences. Mainly I bought a 1940 H distributor/ Mag drive and found the bolt pattern was smaller than what was used on the 300 front cover. So one of my questions is, can I put a "H" front cover and cover plate on this 300 engine ? Crank seal the same or different ? Pulley the same or different? What other differences will I stumble into. Thanks Jerry

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! 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.
