I come from a mechanical family however, my father didn't think females should even try to learn about engine overhaul so I never did more than hand him tools or hold the flashlight so he could see what he was working on.
He has now passed on to his reward and I have a little Allis Chalmers CA that was his last mower tractor. He put on a Woods Belly mower and mowed both the yard and around the buildings and up and down the driveway and lane.
ANYWAY, the tractor motor is stuck...the exhaust pipe had a crack in it and although there was a cap on the stack, the water ran off the hood, down the pipe and into the engine. We have tried all the traditional methods to get it to break loose and nothing has worked so far.
In the back of my brain is a little thought that I could rebuild this engine myself! I am looking for suggestions on which manual I should purchase and where is the best place to purchase an overhaul kit.
I have wanted to tackle this for some time now and I think I'm ready to get on with the project!
Any guidance you would like to share would be appreciated. Yes, I have the tools, yes, I understand the parts and pieces, having grown up in a junk yard.....and have dismantled hundreds of engines of all types.....Just have never been the "responsible party" in a tractor overhaul!
Hoping someone takes me seriously and is willing to help with guidance through this restoration....Thanks in advance, Jen in Oklahoma

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
