Since the older version of the board puts topics a page or so down pretty quickly I thought I'd post a new update from this post:

Link

The ATF trick worked after about a day of soaking. I started feeling pretty good compression on 2 cylinders & a little on the other 2 so I decided to put the plugs back in & gamble on it. Took a while of hit & miss but it finally fired off & was surprisingly smooth. It smoked like a tar kettle but after a few minutes of running & driving it around it cleared up a lot. Didn't want to run it long before changing the oil.
All guages work although the proofmeter seemed to read a little high but I'll worry with that later. Lift works (no implement on it) so maybe the ol' gal's got potential. After scraping enough on the serial # I found it's a late 52, not a 51 like the last owner thought. That was a plus cause it's supposed to have the lower reverse gear in it.

After I get it tuned up & all the fluids changed "we'll" work out all the bugs I'm sure I'll find.third party image

Many Thanks for all the help this board provides.

You don"t see me advertising snake oil,,, do a search,,, i was a non believer till I got hold of a $40,000 cadillac and that was the recommended snake oil to free up the oil rings,,, damm iffin it did"n werk,,, OK got a gal. of the sea foam snake oil to play wif,,,, gave my golf cart a dose let it set overnite,,, compression numbers improved,,, engine ran much better but my compression numbers were still off,,, soooo0o tore into it,,,, rangs clean as a whistel,,,, valves clean as a whistle,,, my problem was the valves are worn slap arse our,,,, zaust valves not seat"n good, intake mushroomed. No doubt in my mine sea foam cleaned it out as did the rangs on the cat. I am rite sure the sea foam in a aerosol can is the same sheet. The ATF probably just made the rings and valves seal,,, after you got it fired up the heat did more good than enny thang else,,, my statement was meant to B took as to Finnish it off and to git the best job give it a dose of sea foam,,,, It was not meant to undermine the effects of adding oil,, ATF,, to the cylinders. The ATF more are less just helped things move around enuff to make a haft arse seal,,, the sea foam will dissolve it and send it out the zaust pipe.

Nutter good carbon cleaner is GM top engine cleaner,,, nutter one I found by accident is NAPA Brake cleaner, its some nasty sheet, will remove paint rat now, will dissolve carbon rat now,, will burn yer skin,,,, ware safty glasses,,, stuff if mean,,, if its not paint stripper Its, its cuzzen,,, its nasty play safe with it

Dayum, is there any way I can agree with Hobo, and Old at the same freekin time?!!?!?!?

I have used a lot of ATF in my time for this purpose, never seen a bottle of sea foam.

Seen it on the ocean though, and it was a little salty fer my taste..

Do yourself a favor and remember Seafoam...then when you are having carb. problems, give it a try. I assure you, it is the best gas treatment stuff I have ever seen. I have had several small engine carbs that would not work. They would try to run but the gum/gunk just would not let them keep running. I used Seafoam in them and the problem was solved. I did not have to disassemble the carb.It is good stuff and I only know what I have personally experienced.. I have never used it for unsticking rings but based on how oit works on other "gummed up" things I bet it will do a good job. It would be a lot more expensive than ATF for sure...I would not have thought about it before but if I had a stuck ring situation I would most likely use ATF with some Seafoam added....

Yea, I'd better not to be too optimistic cause something will go wrong.

Never heard of this stuff, where do I get it?

Don't know about using the seafoam. But then me and Hobo don't agree on any thing and most of the time I would not even post if he had. But I have been doing the ATF for years and never do any thing other then that and my tractors run well. To me its just another snake oil and I don't use much snake oil other then the ATF

Ltljon,You can get Seafoam at Advance,O'rileys maybe NAPA it works great ,put some down plug holes and some in the gas tank to clean the carb and intake valves.That will clean her out,works wonders.
