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 - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
