    Parent bores are not round

    I am at the engine rebuilding stage of rescuing the Farmall M on which I grew up. Had the engine put thru a hot tank but it has sat for months while I tended to other things. I ran a light hone thru each cylinder to remove the hot tank residue as well as some surface rust. My (thin wall)...

    Paint process - logical break

    For context, I'm rescuing the tractor I grew up on. The second owner abandoned it to the weather. It now resides at my cousin's farm shop (2600 miles from where I now live). The tear down is now complete and on my next trip I will begin to rehab/re-assemble. From searching this forum, I am...

    Gas tank leaks

    Rescuing the 51 Farmall M that I grew up on. Unfortunately, the second owner abandoned it to the elements for somewhere between 5-10 years. The gas tank had a lot of gunk in it, so I poured in a gallon of acetone to see what would dissolve. The only leaks were found when I turned it up onto the...

    Painting plated fasteners

    The tractor on which I grew up was abandoned to the weather (5-10 years) by the second owner. I rescued it, but many external fasteners are beyond repair. Not nearly ready for painting, but in the meantime, I'm replacing many fasteners and am wondering: Will paint stick to Zinc-plated...

    Oil pan pinholes

    I'm restoring a Farmall M and discovered it has about 6 pin holes in a small region of the oil pan. Did some research and found out this is fairly common. In fact, some of the pans I have seen online show corrosion in this same region. What is the recommended method to repair? At what point do...

    51 M rescue - distributor timing

    I know that this 51 M has the Fire crater "power pack". Dad added this approximately 1961. He also at some point changed over to the vertical Delco distributor as he had a mounted corn picker and a loader. Vertical was easier to access. So presumably, the Delco would be restricted to 22 degrees...

    posting pictures

    New user here. I can't figure out how to post higher resolution pictures to illustrate any issues I have. YT filter kills my post if I attach a .jpg and the system doesn't seem to be able to upload an html conversion. Is there somewhere where this is spelled out better than the FAQ ?

    51 M rescue

    My Dad ordered a Farmall M the week I was born in 1951, so I have always identified with it. We farmed near Arcanum, Ohio. When I went to college in 1969, Dad sold out of the farm. As I watched the tractor I grew up with drive away, I vowed I would someday bring it back. Later on, I hoped we...
