OK, I've started on this problem with 3 extra quarts of oil in the crankcase plus a small amount of water. Been advised, thru this web site, & I appreciated the info, That the causes could be: Bad head gasket Bad O-ring at the bottom of a piston sleeve Warped head *The above is said to be water in oil problem) (I would also think the head could be cracked or the block is cracked but I doubt this as tractor was starting & running good.) Excess oil problem. A Mr. Paul Shuler told me this came from the hydraulic pump and after reading the manual it states that this can be a problem. However one problem at a time. So, I'm to the point where the head is off the tractor and the old head gasket is now seperated by itself. But you know what, As I look at it I can see nothing wrong with it. My mind tells me that if it was bad I should see a broken spot or at least a bad spot. Then I get to thinking,(watch out) as I untorqued the head bolts they were not all torqued the same. Two were at 35, two at 65, and one each at 40, 45, 50, 55 and 75 (9 head bolts). This was done with a craftsman wrench with a pointer and its hard to get the exact breaking point but the above figures are close. Can I rely on the torque wrench figure used in this manner. I would think there should not have been this much variance. It appears the tractor was never worked on before, surely the factory would not have done something like this when the manual calls for 80 foot lbs. (maybe the assembly man came to work drunk) If it is this uneven, could this be the problem allowing water to seep into the clyinders. Should I continue tearing down to look for damage at the sealing ring on the piston sleeve? Does anyone know what the torque is for the bolts on the rod bearings should I remove the pistons. I could not find it in my manals. Is it hard getting the sleeve out? Also would it be wise to reseat the valves a this time. If so, should I take the head (overhead valves) to a professional shop to have it done. Have any of you quys done your own and what tools do you need? I have only run the tractor for a few minutes since purchasing it last April and I didn't notice any blue smoke coming form the tractor at startup, while idleing or running down hill. Any of you fellows out there with experience I would appreciate some advice.

The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches.
