Blocks are pretty easy to find especially front mounts. Have one sitting in the barn right now and and I'll never get around to rebuilding it. It burned oil but ran well. Ones needing rebuilding are relatively inexpensive. I'm on my third engine in 20 years. These engines were used in a variety of applications besides tractors which increases supply even more. I'm not much of a mechanic but swapping in a running engine on one of these is a long weekend of work with basic tools and cheaper than rebuilding one. My last one came from a farmer who was putting a V8 in an 8N he had bought specifically for that reason, he was a real craftsman. It was a sidemount with 20 lbs of oil pressure. I paid $700, but it was the complete running engine with everything attached. That said I bought a block from a member of this community years ago for $200 in which the scoundrel had smeared grease over a hairline crack. Because of that I prefer buying a running engine and simply swapping them out. They are plentiful once you start looking, you can even buy professionally rebuilt engines for around $3000 but that's more than the tractor is worth. Start looking, as they are plentiful.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
