Welcome to the forum.😖mile: That looks like a wide gauge tractor, nice find. Just some assembly required!
You should go back and update your Profile to let everyone know where you are in case you hit a point where you need some help or parts that have turned up missing!
Those "Some Assembly Required" tractors are always the most Fun as you can go through replacing/repairing as you re-assemble!
Nice Find!
Hey JHammer - welcome to the forum and to ACMOC. This is Nathan Duncan by the way I'm Ironman3406 on the forum here. Had a blast getting the 22 with you that day.
Some issues that I have come across so far.
1. Connecting rod big end bearing need to be repoured on 2 rods.
2. 2 cracks and a big patch in he cylinder jugs will need to be welded. Thinking about tig welding with stainless filler rod.
3. Cam has a worn lobe (very pointy others are nice and round.
4. Exhaust guides and seats need replacing.
5. Some minor pitting and ring ridge on cylinders. Maybe new pistons and rebore or just run new rings i have. 015 to .020 piston to cylinder clearance.

Anyone have sources for new parts or usable ones.
To bad you are so far. I have most of those parts but it would cost a fortune to ship them. - Wally
Is it normal for the exhaust valve to be bigger at the bottom of the guide all 4 are the same goes back to nominal size about 1" down.
I have a nice set of pistons and cylinders I saved of a 22 that was scraped, it was reported to have a recent top overhaul. I would like to see them go to a good project.
Hello fellas I am also new to the club. I purchased a Twenty Two in November that needs complete restore. Looking forward to as much help as I can get. Have been around Caterpillar iron my whole life. Dad owned a construction business. I have been doing a lot of reading on here & I am hooked. I also have a TD9 IHC dozer, 2 John Deere B-Tractors. 1938 & 1939
Where are you located?
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
