Re: REALLY stuck MD

Many years ago, my grandpa bought a Farmall MD at an auction for his farm in rural MN. (I live right next to it.) BTW, if you go to the vintage photo gallery and search for Farmall MD, you can see a picture of it in 1966.

Anyway, he eventually quit using it and it sat in the barn for several years, and then was finally moved outside-- WITH THE HEAD REMOVED!!!

Now, I think it would be a lot of fun to try to get it running again (I know how expensive MDs are to repair, but I thought I would just do it slowly so I didn't make myself broke doing it) but you can imagine how badly stuck it is having sat outside for so many years without the head. What I want to know is, is there ANY practical way to get this thing freed up again? Has anyone else had success in a situation like this?

Any and all help is appreciated,
Nathan

P.S. Sorry for being so long winded, but I wanted to get a little of the history of it out there.

Save a lot of time and effort. Try to find a 450D engine that runs and put in place of junk motor. Then you will have a MD with power!

Yep!Been there done that!I got a couple of mine out by removing the oil pan and getting a round piece of wood and just pounding the heck out of it,knocking the sleeve and all back out through the top.Problem I was going to have was I couldnt rotoate the crankshaft to get the nuts off of the other two rods to do the same on it.I sold mine!
