You should try it stock first before considering mods IMHO. It's a pretty stout engine and will last a good long service life (especially) without modification.

that was a great read, didn't know there was so much you could with those old hunks of iron :biggrin2:

I have used it quite a bit stock, it needs some attention though. Not going to do anything too crazy

I'm going to move my future responses about the engine to the other thread you started about the tractor. Two threads dealing with the same thing are silly. I'd move my posts, but I can no longer do that....

Here is the other thread for those following this one:
