This is Katharine's hubby, and being more of a novice at the mechanical side of things I didn't even think to tighten the head bolts while I had the valve cover off... Tell the truth didn't even realize it was possible or could be that simple! Though since the gasket is only $8 and all it takes is a little time and having a change of oil handy (which we had already planned as we're still trying to work some of the crud out of there from the crap the previous owner had been using) then I might just look at trying that this coming weekend... As far as the tractor goes the transmission is sound, the PTO is good, the hydraulics in the 3-point hitch are in excellent condition, and the power steering works fine other than a relatively minor leak near the steering column which isn't outputting a significant amount of fluid so hasn't been deemed 'urgent'... If the engine needs an overhaul then so be it, but I think it might have to wait a little longer before we can muster enough to do that... We did change the engine oil, but have not gotten to the transmission oil and filter yet, where is the filter and drain for the transmission on a '68 Ford 3400? Anyone?
