I bought a farmall H really cheap. Metal is straight and in good shape. It was running and transmission and all seemed fine. I was thinking it sounded sort of like a johnny popper and smoked just a tiny bit of oil. Well It's basically running on two cylinders after an inspection. First thing I did was checked the plugs which needed replaced. The 2nd cylinder problem was the plug wire needed replaced. The 1st cylinder after pulling the valve cover I noticed the exhaust valve is stuck open. So much so that the rocker arm is off of the push rod. What is the most likely cause of this? I know this tractor was sitting for quiet a while before the guy I got it from got it running. Is it just stuck from sitting? I was thinking of pulling the head and spraying some pb blaster down the valve guide and using a mallet to pound the valve back in and hoping it doesn't stick when I put it back on. Or do I need a valve job after this? Also is there any chance of a bent valve on these engines if stuck open or is there plenty of clearance? Thanks
