My Dad owns this tractor, a 1941 IHC Farmall Model A with a 4 cyl flathead motor. His problem is, he doesn't have a computer, nor internet access, but he does have water in the oil (of the tractor, that is). He was told that "the seals at the bottom of the cyl sleeves might be the cause of the leak". But he doesn't have any parts or manuals.
Is this likely? Where can we get parts for that fix? Is there a manual?

Pull the oil pan and look for leakage at the bottom of the sleeves. The sealing rings are probably causing the leak. They get hard and brittle. Hal
PS: To fix it the engine needs to be torn down.

Your tractor SHOULD have a valve-in-head engine, not a flathead!

You can look at the parts book HERE:

The sleeves and "O" rings are HERE:

Your Case-IH dealer can still get most of the engine parts you may need, also, there are many aftermarket parts sources, including this very website.

The sleeve "O" rings (#5) could certainly be the cause of the water leak. However, if the sleeves have been in there for a while, they may be too pitted in the "O" ring sealing area for re-use, or pitted through, and leaking water into the bores and down into the crankcase though the pits.

Other possibilities are a bad head gasket or a cracked block or cylinder head.

You should be able to get operator's, parts, and service manuals from Binder Books.

The IH-8 service manual from I&T Intertech is helpful, too.
