    Farmall A Block

    It's called Grammar-Gates machine shop, near Geneva. I too wonder why the crack formed - or possibly it was there all along and enough grunge cleared out of the water jacket to expose it. I've spent a lot of time trying to clean this engine up / out, short of taking the head off. Had the...

    Farmall A Block

    Thanks all for the encouragement and suggestions. I've cleaned out the crack and worked on the ends of it with a carbide bit and applied an epoxy-putty patch for now. The engine needs an overhaul for other reasons sooner rather than later (sludge in the water jacket, oil consumption, etc.) so I...

    Farmall A Block

    I have a 1940 Farmall A, which I've been running for almost eight years now. It had a small sidewall crack that I patched with JB Weld.

    Farmall A - Sudden engine vibration

    Whoops, sorry about that. The YouTube video should work now. I had low pressure when running, after the engine warms up. Gauge showed center when the engine first starts. I will try cranking with the clutch pressed in. The vibration occurs almost instantly, even when cranking with ignition...

    Farmall A - Sudden engine vibration

    Hello all, I have a 1940 Farmall A I bought this summer and have been using for mowing my 3 acres with a 60" Woods mower. It's run well for me, though I discovered after buying a small crack in the block, which I sealed with JB Weld putty and has held well against the coolant. I just...
