I have a 1958 Farmall 560 gas that I have not been able to start since I got it. Found out today that I have several valves that are stuck. My question, while I having the head off and the valves ground, is there something else that I should do while I have the head off? Also, what is the going rate for having the valves ground. The Case dealer sells the valve grind gasket kit for $93.17, is there a better place to get them possibly with a better price? thanks Bill

Allen has some good thoughts, but I’d like to add that if the valves were stuck from moisture and rust, I’d be concerned that there might be stuck rings also. The more you are planning on using the tractor the more things you might want to consider checking.

The only way you are going to know for sure if you can save money on gaskets or the machine shop is to compare prices in your area. I would think that any part house in your area can get gaskets.

Thanks for the info, I will not be using the tractor very hard but don't want to waste an opportunity to check other possible problems.

Bill,

If you've got the head off anyway, this would be a perfect time to throw in a set of inserts on the lower end.

If there is any sideways "shake" in those pistons when they are at top dead center, you might just wanna go ahead and give it an "in frame" while your at it.
