Hello All.
For those of you that dont frequent the Farmall board, I have a pair of BN's that I picked up, and am now tearing into as they are both stuck. Drained water or antifreeze out of both of the pans, and one had cylinders full of water. I pulled the head off of that one, and have it in on the work bench.
I picked up a valve spring compressor, and pulled out the valves tonight.
I guess I need to know what to do next. Im guessing I should have a shop check the head and magnaflux it, but what else? Do they need the valves in it as well? How can I tell if I can just lap the valves in or if I should get a valve job done? I was able to pull some of the valves right out once the keepers were removed, but others I had to tap out with a brass drift.
If I get the head worked over (assuming its not cracked) and can un-stick the pistons, whats next? Im guessing I should drop the pan, but what do I look for once I do?
Sorry for the novice questions, but I usually just tinker, and this is a bigger job than I figured it would be!

Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
