[AT] M Farmall Head

[Bob Davenport]

I went to change the oil in my 51 M Farmall awhile back and it had about a gallon extra in it.  Anti-freeze, water, and oil.  Pulled the head and it had cracks all over.   This head had been put on about five years ago and had been repaired before I purchased it. ($350.00).  I probably hadn't run it over ten hours during that time.  I don't know wheater it leaked from the start or not.  Never noticed it being low on water until last fall when I checked the anti-freeze.  It was about a gallon low then.  Hopefully I haven't damaged the bearings or crank.  

Does anyone on the list know where I could get a good one,  perferably one that has been rebuilt.  I found one locally but when I had it magnafluxed it was cracked and no good.  

This was my Dad's tractor and I will do whatever necessary to get it back in shape again.    I also have his C Farmall that he bought new in 1950 when I was 12 years old.   Use it now with a Woods belly mower almost daily it seems.

Thanks in advance for any leads.
