If you're gonna upgrade to adjustable lifters (and I reccomend doing so), do yourself a favor and drill the block to facilitate adjusting, while the old lifters are out and before installing the new adjustable lifters.
A lot of the engines have had the block drilled already, so as to not require the crazy little wrenches. I personally drill all blocks during rebuilds that aren't already drilled out.
Look for a simple 1/8 inch drilled hole in the boss casting that holds the lifter. Then when adjusting stick a nail or small diameter rod in the hole. As you turn the adjusting bolt, the lifter will turn until the diagonal slotted hole in the lifters lines up with the nail. Push the nail in a little more and now the lifter is held while you adjust the lifter.

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
