[Farmall] [Bulk] Re: Farmall H Head Installation

[Thomas O Mehrkam]

I have an H.  I re-sleeved and overhauled the engine 40 years ago.

It has been waiting for a rework for the last three years.  Have not 
found a RoundToIt.  It would be interesting to see if it has washers 
under the nuts.

I remember a few studs were replaced.  Other than that the only other 
memory was jacking out the sleeves using some spacers off a disk and a 
jack from the bottom.  Storing the sleeves in the freezer and dropping 
them in no problem at all. The rest has been lost with time. :-}
