First I confirmed it is a Model B, and the year is 1940. When I got it, it was locked up, and even the wheels and steering was locked, so I had to winch/skid it on and off of the trailer. A while back I got the wheels loose, and also got the steering loose enough where the front wheels would steer. So today I tore it down a bit pulling the head off. What I found was:<br>1 - Fuel tank has several holes in 1 corner, at a height about 1” above the bottom. Need to do some patch - these are a bit more than what I would trust a liner to fix. Worst holes are right where the belting is that goes between the tank and the support, so external fixes will mess up the mounting.<br>2 - Coolant was clean and green, once I got some to come out. Engine block is full of something like rust you can feel with a screwdriver.<br>3 - Valve spring side of head has a lot of loose rust. Cylinder side showed significant rust on the valves on the 2 center cambers where it looked like water was going through there.<br>4- Cylinders had some rust, and pistons are locked to the cylinder. Seal is tight enough that it was holding some gasoline I poured into each cylinder (not much, about 1/8” deep). <br>5 - Good thing is that no bolts broke or stripped thread when disassembling.<br><br>Plan is to continue disassembly of the oil pan, so I can have access to both top and bottom of the piston. Will get and use something other than gasoline to soak the pistons/rings. Will also disassemble the head and check valves.<br>I will be able to do a little bit when I get to that shop when I continue working on other little things on the cub.<br><br>Dennis<br><br>Sent from my iPad<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>_______________________________________________<br>AT mailing list<br><a href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><br><a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
