[AT] looking for head for 304T ford engine

[Herb Metz]

A decade or more ago, I bought quite a bit of Allis G parts and equipment 
from Wengers, a family
owned and operated company at that time.  A good company. Herb(GA)

I just ordered one from Wengers or Myerstown Penn.   They only had a
rebuilt one for $550 + shipping when I first called requesting a bare
head for a NH TS110, no bare head was available.    I found a bare,
magnafluxed, and warranted head on their web site for $200 + shipping.
When I called back with the part number from their web site, I got it
for the $200 + shipping.  Go figure.  It always helps to have their part
numbers.....

Thanks everyone for the help, I just decided I better not wait around as
I really need this tractor.   My 7030 Allis is about to lose the clutch
and the 2-105 White still needs the rear tire replaced.  The clutch is
also sticking, I need to pul the clutch pedal off and lubricate the
pivot.   There is no grease zerk and the dash must be disassembled
inside the cab to get the pedal off.....
