In-framed this auction tractor in 2017. Came back in 2019 with 6 scuffed cylinders and one wasted. The initial diagnosis was overheating, because the sleeves all had ring of rust below the flange, each ring progressively lower going towards the rear of the tractor, as if the tractor were sitting in a nose-down position with the water level below the deck of the block. The theory being water loss during the winter and failing to check the water before starting in the spring. So, installed 1 new sleeve/piston group. The damage to the other 5 cylinders was such that you couldnt hook your fingernail in the scuff marks, and they cleaned up real nice with a light honing. But now she came back again. Didnt take all the cylinders out this time, but had one major failure. I have to rule out overheating this time, cuz the new S/P group right next to it is in perfect condition. Posted some photos. One thing I thought was strange was looking down the exhaust port with the head on, it was not sooty, but looked as clean as the day it came out of the box. And the non-uniform soot deposit on the under side of the head. What do you guys think? Thanks Fritz

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
