The original subject was "1927 Fordson".

They are a lot of work to get them running . I have been working on mine three years . I really don't care about the cost cause I want get it to run.
I have got so many surprizes doing this project ,it has been worth the time . Here are a few of them
I put in custom aluminum Pistons .08 over ,
I got all new valves ,guides and lifters
The magnets on flywheel can be recharged .
Next is radiator . I don't think my radiator will make the grade. There are 42 1/4 -28 bolts that hold the casting to the radiator core ,that will take a bout three hours to do .
Once you start don't give up it will be worth it.
Good luck
 
I advise to inspect magnets carefully. In the presence of magnetic fields, the steel tends
to develop stress cracks in the bend. I had one come apart in my Model T engine and jam up things. After 90 years, it can be expected.
The ones that are not yet cracked can be saved. If you know your metallurgy, you can heat them to a certain temp to stress relieve them and let them cool very slowly. We're talking about medium hot, too high for a cooking oven, but a lot less than red hot. You can't heal the ones with cracks. It is also fussy about the way they are fastened in place by brass screws, etc.
