I am newby when it comes to Farmalls, although I do have a '40 Minnie that is nearly restored. I have been asked to restore a family heirloom that was bought new by my great, great uncle (???). It has been sitting outside on the farm for as long as I can remember (at least 15 yrs) and from what I understand, it was rebuilt sometime in the mid 70s. Of course, the rims are shot, but everything else is in relatively good condition. Believe it or not, the tin is in great shape. When I go home from college for Christmas break, I'm gonna tincker with it and see if it is stuck first off. If I find it in either condition, does anyone have any recommendations? Do Farmalls have removable sleeves or are they like the old Minnies and tough out of luck? Of course, I'll have to redue all the wiring, but my tractor is a crank start, so I don't mind doing that (cranking). I guess what I am asking for are some tips, parts suppliers, and some things to look for before I get started. The last thing I want to do is to get the engine apart and find out that there is no hope. I know this tractor will not be sold to someone outside the family, so I guess I will be its only hope. I would appreciate any tips. Thanks.

Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
