Hey ya’ll. How ya’ll doin? It’s been a while since I’ve posted a message on this site. I just thought I’d let ya’ll know what all I’ve done to my Farmall M and maybe ask a couple questions. Well, where do I start? Since my last post, I’ve taken off the generator, water pump, carburetor, manifold, and the head. I cleaned all the dirt out of the cylinders, and there was a lot of dirt because of dirt daubers. I did have the pistons soaking in diet coke (I was told to use regular coke, but I read that diet is better b/c it has less sugar). But the coke either soaked through or evaporated. So now I have the pistons soaking in a combination of brake fluid and motor oil. I also have the tractor in 5th gear and the right side up on blocks so I can rock the back tire back and forth in hopes of breaking the pistons loose. What else can I do? I was rocking the back tire yesterday and it felt like it was getting harder to rock. Any reason for that? My uncle told me to pour Clorox in the cylinders to break the pistons loose. Will this work? Or will it cause corrosion to other parts like the crankshaft, camshaft and oil pan. Other than that, the restoration is at a stand still. Any suggestions on what I can work on now? I was going to start overhauling the carburetor and water pump but I don’t have a parts CD. I was going to order a parts manual but the salesman told me about a CD that covered all tractors made by International, Case and Case IH that had less than 100 hp for like $10 or $15 bucks more than the manual. But I have to wait until September to order it b/c that’s when the new version comes out. Lucky for me, my birthday is in September. :)I bought a small bottle Marvels Mystery Oil to soak the pistons in and noticed a warning on the back saying that this stuff has been known to cause cancer in California. Does anyone know what’s that’s all about? Thanks in advance for any and all input. I really do appreciate it. Thanks again,
Jason (SC)
