Hi Abe, I read your note that the timing was ok.
Will the tractor start? Your rings may be stuck
in the piston grooves do to varnish buildup. The rings could have lost their tension too. I would keep squirting oil into the cylinders and spinning the engine for a while. If the compression remains low, I think you'll have to do an engine rebuild. If the sleeves aren't worn
beyond their wear limits you may be able to use your old pistons with new rings, bearings and a valve job. I like the Moly rings best. Everyone has their own opinions on this. Good Luck, Hal
