Again thanks for the great feedback. You guys certainly did work those MF's hard but you got to do what is needed to get the job done. I've worked a lot of John Deere and International tractors hard but never had to replace any head gaskets but most are not turned up on the pump. Did have to replace a couple of clutches and T/A on the IH-3588 but that is not uncommon. Only head gasket problem was with a NorthStar engine in my Cadillac and they were notorious for the head bolts stretching in the aluminum heads. The MF 698 has a front end loader and only 1100 hrs and looks great but I haven't talked to the owner yet.

I'll keep looking for other tractors that are a little older that I know how to work on. Guy has a JD 4230 that needs a little work and another has a 71 JD 4020D that would also be about what I need. Not in a hurry, so I will keep looking and checking out local farm sales.

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
