Got Both H tractors home over the 4th

Well I went and picked up both of the H tractors I had posted about earlier, got the pair for 600 bucks, one is a 1948 model I think, serial number is 286828, engine is stuck, they left the exhaust uncovered for the last three years, one of the cylinders was full of water, hoping it frees up pretty easy...other than that its complete and straight, tires are like new tread wise, weather checked but not bad...the other is a 1946 model i think, its serial number is 239542 and it has a du-all loader on it, same as the other one though, at first it had timing issues, but they gave up on it and left the hood off of it and again the exhaust was uncovered, same cylinder filled with water and rusted stuck...gonna get the'48 going and pull the loader off of the '46 and use it as a parts tractor i think...maybe tear it down after awhile and get it going too...just not sure at the moment...later...Bob...

If the cycl was full of water dont mess around just pull the head and pan and tear it down as that cycl will never be any good and you will just waste time trying to unstick. If there is water in that one there is water in the others too and the head will need to go to a machine shop for a valve job. Tranny probably has water also.
