Stuck SH has come Alive!!!!

Va Gasman · Aug 14, 2012

Well today My grandson and I got the SH fired up. When I got this in the spring , This tractor had been stuck for several years. Left out in the open. #2 and #3 were froze real bad. Had to push out pistons and sleeves. Installed new sleeve/piston kit. Rod bearings all looked good. I had to tweek the timing and it ran alot smoother. The carburator gave me some headache but I ran 2 cans of cleaner thru every opening I could find. I have the carburator adjusted and it will crank up with battery but I can't get it to go with hand crank. Still hard to turn. Oil pressure is at about 85% on IH gauge., Water went to 170' after 30 minutes of driving. When should I re torque head and when should I check valves again? Also how should I treat it during the ring break in?

I like to run them normally during break in. Work it hard some and avoid long idling.

Everyone has there method.

How old is the grandson? It's great he is working with Grandpa on the tractor. Make sure he knows it will be his someday. And more important the REST of the family knows.
