I reaquired a 39 F-14 my family had at one time.The gentleman who bought it from us accually worked it for a couple of years and then did a somewhat poor restoration,paint and body work wise anyways,but did rebuild the engine.When he painted it he basically just sandblasted it,shot a coat of primer then painted it.SOME of what he did accually looks good,but time has taken its toll,evidentally he use a poor quality of paint,so thatll have to go.there are a few broken peices and some missing parts,but I think i have a good lead on a cheap parts tractor so that wont be that big of a deal providing its not missing the same parts I need.Last year,when I got it back,I had to rebuild the head,and everything in it id good and you could tell the pistons and sleeves had been changed.Since I got it back I have put maybe 20 hrs on it.I changed the oil when I first got it back,but when I was checking it today it had gotten WAY overful and smelled of gas.I drained down to the upper petcock about a quart and then down to the lower petcock before deciding to completely drain and refill it and change the filter.I left it to drain for a couple of hours to make sure i get a much of this potent mix out as I can.my question is,assuming the receipts I was showed for the engine kit were authenic,could this much gas have gotten by the rings in such a short time of running.Would a problem in the fuel pump cause this much to get by it.It runs great onceI can get it started.I think I may have a weak mag on it and usually end up pulling it off to get it running.Also,what parts are available through Napa for these.I know about Rice,but if I need something quick,Napa would be my first choice. Iknow the engine kit was bought through one local Napa,but I dont know any of the specifics and plan to go by Monday after work.Thansk for input!

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
