Any way to gently spin the valve that is leaking?  Maybe that would 
clean it enough to seal. I'm a fan of pressurized lubricant. With the 
oil pan off you can see where the lube is going, and where it is not. 
Best part is you can plug your air line in and let it "work" all week 
while you are at work, sleeping, etc. Obviously leave the power to the 
compressor cut off. Even if your valve leaks a little bit, so what. It 
takes a long time to "leak" down a full tank of air. By the way, the 
list help me devise a way to pressurize and push diesel fuel into the 10 
ft long gear shift cables on my combine. It worked great, just took a 
couple days--with that setup I could only use very little pressure though.

How hot will one of those magnetic block heaters get the engine? I 
assume you would have to have water in the coolant system.I'm not a fan 
of leaving stuff like that unattended, maybe you could try it on the 
weekend while you are around the house?

I understand bettter why you are reluctant to pull the engine down. 
Hopefully you won't have to.

Hey, this is good stuff--first time in a long time anyone here has tried 
resurrecting a tractor. Keep us updated frequently--you got members 
coming out the woodwork!
