TD 18A Crawler Engine with broken rings

Posted by MN Charlie on July 17, 2003 at 05:49:12 from (216.188.194.42):

Has anyone had the fun of pulling the cylinder heads off a TD-18A Crawler tractor? When I removed the first head I found pieces of broken rings on top of the pistons. Guess that's why she would not fire on No 1 cylinder. When I pulled the back head I found 2 more pistons with broken rings. Does anyone know where to start looking for parts for this engine? Some good used pistons would make it run again and a cylinder head gasket set would help. I would like to visit with somebody that has ever worked on this engine. I have a WD-6 in my tractor colection so I know the basic principle of what makes this engine Start and Run. The TD-18A is just larger, over twice the size of the WD-6. I need to take some pictures of this 6 cylinder 691 CID engine. It is huge. Thanks for the help.
