Thanks to all who gave me advice on getting the sleeves out of my 46 A. It took me about two hours this afternoon but they are all out now. Since the block was on an engine stand I turned it over and got it under my shop press. I supported underneath the block with a couple of pieces of oak flooring and used a screw from a floor jack to reach from the press to the puller plate (now a pusher plate). Since I had already moved the number 3 sleeve about an eighth of an inch I pushed it out first. Then I shot some PB Blaster on the inside of the other sleeves and waited an hour. Once they broke loose and I pressed them the first half inch they pretty much fell out. The only problem was the number 1 sleeve, it took as much force as I felt comfortable applying before popping lose. A 20 ton press would have been better than my 12 ton because the larger frame would allow more room to work. The interesting thing is that I found a half inch of mud inside the water jacket.

Hey Brad, Mud in the water Jacket's not that surprising. A lot of old farmers just used plain old well water for the cooling systems. In the McComick Deering Owner's Manual for the Farmall F14, it says on page 38: "Always use cleam water(rain or soft water prefered)

Water from creeks & stagnant pools usually contains dirt or other matter that leaves a deposit in system that impairs cooling efficiency.

Radiator & water system should be cleaned periodically."

This manual is still in the mailing envelope it was sent in fron International to my grandfather. It's postmarked March 3, 1954. They moved out that house in 1956 and last weekend I went by there. Second time I'd ever seen it, but the first time I was too young to remember. Kind of neat to see it.
