My brother and I are just starting into my grandfather's horse and a half. It's in really good shape except for a brokern rocker. We have parts coming. Hope to have it running soon. Our dad hasn't ever seen it run, so it should be exciting to see his reaction when we suprise him. That's for the helpful videos.

She’s running nice and smooth, doc. I can see why folks like the John Deere engines, but I link watching all the bits spinning around…

Now I maybe missed something but why would it hurt to overfill the oil by that little bit?

Any more oil than necessary will cause the engine to leak excessively. These early Deere's didn't have a crankcase pressure relief valve, or any other source of crankcase ventilation, so excessive oil caused excessive splash, which increased leakage from the main bearings, pushrod exit area, and any other opening it can find. Back in the day on the farm, nobody really cared, but today we try to keep leakage to a minimum for obvious reasons. Thanks for watching!

Where did you get the valve springs and any other parts?🧐

I use either Starbolt Engine Supplies located in Maryland, or Flywheel Supply located in Iowa. Both can be found easily on the web. Good luck and thanks for watching!
