Thanks guys, I'll pay special attention to the O-rings. I'm an old wrencher from way back so I get where the issue is.

I got this tractor for free ten years ago. It was a working tractor but the guy's hand forgot to put the can on the muffler after the last hay for the season and it sat all winter with rain getting in and stuck it.

He tried to sell it to a tractor place and was offered $500, that's with a working sickle blade mower, and cultivator under the front. He got so mad he said he'd give it away first, and I happened to be the first guy to express interest when I was servicing his water well.

I got it unstuck, even though I found a piece of piston skirt inthe oil the first oil change, it's run well enough to maintain the road and mow for ten years. I found a piston cracked across 1/3 held together by the rings when I tore it open. Talk about bulletproof.

I can't wait to see how it runs with a new valve job and 4 good pistons.

Now if I can get a good deal on a 2 point hitch, or a hydraulic 3 point I'll be all set for hopefully another 50 years.

By the way, the method I used to unstick is one I haven't seen here, remove starter and use a 6' pry bar on the flywheel starter teeth, after soaking cylinders in oil for 2 weeks of course. Major leverage that way.
