It was a cold and rainy January auction day when I bought my first tractor, an F-20 with a stuck engine. I was 15 and did my own bidding! Paid my $20 to the banker and slid that pup onto a trailer and took her home. Removed the pan and found the crank journals sitting parallel to the ground. Jacked up the tractor and put a 4x4 under one of the journals, squirted a product called "Z-4" into all the cylinders, then lowered the jack so weight of the tractor front end was on the block. About 4 months later I happened to be in the machine shed and thought the ole girl looked funny! It had unstuck and the rest is history. Anybody know where I could by a gallon of "Z-4"? I'd give up some of my retirement for a lead ;<)FB
