<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Dennis, Check with Spencer as he had quite a challenge with stuck pistons when That JD 420 I found him was froze solid. It was a lot of creative work for him to finally free it up. He did a great job while having a lot of patience. Joe Hardisky Ryman Farm Dallas, PA ( expecting 12/20 inches over next few days.

<div dir="ltr"><span>So after I got Cub running yesterday, I thought I would take a little time and look at my little Allis. 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:</span><br>
<span>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.</span><br>
<span>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.</span><br>
<span>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.</span><br>
<span>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).
</span><br>
<span>5 - Good thing is that no bolts broke or stripped thread when disassembling.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>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.</span><br>
<span>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.</span><br>
