Dissapointing that after all your begging for a tractor, you say your going to part it out. That is a fine tractor and you are getting more free and cheap stuff than I could ever hope for. Not to mention all this advice on topics most would read about and figure out. (Lots of how to restore tractor books that are very helpful along with manuals) I hope that you stay interested as a resto job takes years not weeks. Take your time and pick away at it. As far as sanding you should be able to get that whole tractor sanblasted for less than 200 ONCE you get it running. The sandblast will clean up all the rest and save you that much work and make the paint job last longer and look better. Also I would get the tractor running 100% before conserning myself with looks. Take the head to a machine shop (maybe someone can recommend one for you) or call around and tell them what you have (how many valves) and tell them you want it cleaned up and checked. The machine shop will then tell you whether the head needs to get planed (not the technical term) to flatten it and if you need valves and or seats. Can we get a picture inside those cylinders to see how bad we are stuck, and while your at it might as well take one of the head. The push rod is easily replacable and probably pretty cheap. I put my email up in case you need other help. Good luck and keep at it. Alex
