I always enjoy learning something new and the H that I am restoring gave me a pretty good lesson today. This tractor had a badly frozen block that I learned of as I took it apart. I was lucky enough to find another block at a salvage yard and the price was very reasonable so I felt it was worth the money and effort to restore the tractor.

This process has taken about a year now so it isn't something that I have done in a short time frame. I had the tractor all back together last spring and I mounted a cultivator to it and used it to take care of my large sweet corn patch. The tractor started to act up by either only running at idle or running full throttle. I took the cover off of the govenor and could see that it was not getting any oil to lubricate it. I just quit using it and finally last week I took the front end of the tractor off to find out where the oil passage had been blocked.

After much thought and looking at the old block that came out of the tractor I localized where the blockage had to be. I pulled the cam out and sure enough the front cam bearing had not been installed with the oil holes in the proper place. The bearings that came with the block seemed ok so I didn't replace them. My lesson learned is to check the bearing alignment with the oil holes. I would have never thought a block that came from a salvage tractor would have that bearing placed in it wrong.

Almost back together now and I am looking forward to using the tractor and painting it later on this summer. It was a fair amount of extra work but I guess it was just another one of those lessons!

Best way that I can describe it is that it is good and wet wet with oil when you take the cover off. This one was clearly dry when I looked inside. The gears at the front of the engine were also not getting the right lube but at least they get a bath of oil when you put the oil into the engine. I was lucky to figure out the problem before anything was damaged.

Worked with a mechanic who would Mic a crankshaft after coming from the machine shop to be sure the bearings they had sent were right. I remember he found one that was .004 too small. He also blew air through the oil holes in crank and block.

Thumbanger: Putting kits in C-123 water pumps is one of the poorest paying jobs in the western hemisphere.

If you can figure any way take the kit back and trade your pump for a rebuilt

I have learned that while working on most things it can pay to really check everything possible and leave nothing up to chance because it's just too dang hard to go back in and do it over. Checking takes time and even with this approach things can be missed.

Bob, Just another adventure in the continuing saga of tractor restorations. The number of these adventures are infinite in number, therefore, we will never run out of Forum fodder.
