[AT] Farmall A bearing noise

I have three favorites:


How to Rebuild and Restore Farm Tractor Engines (Motorbooks Workshop) by 
Spencer Yost (who just happens to be the owner of this list and is a 
very nice person).

How To Restore Classic Farm Tractors: The Ultimate Do-It-Yourself Guide 
to Rebuilding and Restoring Tractors by Tharran E. Gaines

How to Restore Your Farm Tractor (Motorbooks Workshop) by Robert N. Pripps

But the book I use the most often for rebuilding any tractor is the 
original service manual for that tractor. I buy them only from Binder 
Books <www.binderbooks.com>

By the way, I just got through using all of the above to put a 1952 
Farmall Cub back into action, after it had been stored (in pieces) for 9 
years in my neighbor's barn. I finally got it running yesterday and used 
it with my Mott flail mower to clean the shoulders of my two mile 
private dirt lane. 
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/1952-farmall-cub/> I am a pretty 
happy camper. (And yes, I know the colors are incorrect, but that was 
how the PO painted it, and it was too much work to paint it over in red).

Where can I buy a book on rebuilding a gas engine with sleeves? I have a good guy to work with me on some of the other work but no experience with replacing sleeves. I know, from time to time, hints have been posted on this site. Thanks for any help you can give!
