[Farmall] Seeing daylight again

[John Hall]

I drug my Regular out from the back of the shed where it resides for the 
first time in quite a while (3 years or more?). During this long storage it 
managed to get a stuck valve so we had to pull the valve cover and do a 
whole lot of persuading  to get it to free up. No sign of rust so not 
certain why it seized. anyway, got that straightened out and decided it was 
time to get the handle on the crank to spin. A whole lot of heating later I 
let it cool  and started putting penetrating oil in it. Finally I could see 
it wiggle. A little more and it was loose. Then the bad part--it worked so 
loose it came completely off the end. So now I am planning to build a 
crimping die  so I can hopefully make it stay on the crank. Anyone here ever 
successfully do this?
