OK, I got the #8 valve moving (it was stuck). Had to remove head. Got everything cleaned up. Put on new head gasket, blue side up. Tightened all nuts a little at a time until all were finally at 65#. I then put rocker arm assembly on and tightens the three nuts to 50#. Now I need to adjust th valve lash. Not much help in the IT book. Found these directionsnon line, do they sound right?
" Bring No1 piston (near the radiator) to TDC on the compression stroke and adjust valves 1,2,3 & 5 counting from the radiator. Then rotate engine one full turn and adjust 4,6,7 & 8. Set them at .017" cold"
If this is not correct, anyone have a set of directions for me?
On a side note, I also took oil pan off. There is one heck of a huge dent on the back (furthest from radiator). I can see where it was brazed. It does not leak. I cleaned the screen on the float for the oil pump it was filthy. I'm afraid to take dent out because it may crack then I have to buy a new pan. Just found out today the intake/exhaust manifold is shot (huge holes in the bottom of the cast. I know I need one. This tractor is starting to act like a boat (always needs something). It is fun working on it with my 13 year old son. Starting to get expensive though.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
