Brought Home a Farmall H

Hemi pistons LOL
Nice project. Wish I had time to work on the ones I've got.
 
Pulled some pieces off of the H in preparation for some sandblasting. I figure with it already torn down this far I should at least clean it up. I used some heat to loosen up the clamps on both the wheel and center casting to axle. I need to pull the rear centers to get the wheel weights off.

One came loose when I backed the bolts out, but I need to roll the tractor ahead to see if the other will do the same.

How is the arm healing?
 
Hi cjet, was to the Doc last Thursday got the cast that was up over the elbow off Doc said it was healing but had to have a shorter cast asked the Doc how long he said 3 weeks I pushed for 2 weeks he countered with 4 weeks so it looks like I have another 2 weeks to go but its a lot handier when you can use your elbow and most of the fingers so its getting better Thanks for asking
 
Pulled the wheels off to get at the wheel weights which are now mounted on our Super C in prep for some plowing.

Mounted the Farmall H engine on the new HF stand. I had to make another pair of short mounting arms for the HF engine stand to get it on there. I got lucky and found enough scrap to make them out of.

I rolled the block over today to take a look inside. It was a lot cleaner than I figured it would be, though there is a little grit on the flange where the pan bolts up. I'm still going to pull it down for a thorough cleaning just to be safe. The block had been all painted inside and the cam is covered in some sort of grease so it didn't rust. The upper bores do have a lot of grit and some light surface rust in a few spots on the sleeves. It should be a pretty easy cleanup from here.

That looks good in there like you say should make a good engine, had it been overhauled that there was grease on the cam the paint keeps it looking good
 
Pulled most of the engine down today. Just need to get the lifters and main bearing half shells out and then start the cleanup. The crank still looks great and it has been reground to .010 under Mains and .020 under rods and the front pulley has a seal saver installed. I found the #1 and #4 rods were in the wrong holes so that will be corrected upon assembly. Also noticed the connecting rod bolt lock tab washers are all missing. I suppose I should bite the bullet and get a set of them though they want $5.50 a piece for them.
