I had a piston that looked to be about the same shape as yours. It never missed and it had a slight clicking noise. When I removed the oil filler cap there was a lot of oil blowing out. I thought there was compression blowing into the crankcase. This was on a GM 2.5L engine.

I pulled the head and there was groove worn into
the cylinder wall. When I pulled that piston
it had broken rings and a portion of the piston was missing. I pulled the engine and had it bored oversize. Ran like a new car after that.

I restored 5 or 6 Standard Twin garden tractors
and one Viking that were made in MN. This was about 30 years ago and I bought parts from American Farm Machinery in New York Mills and Ottertail MN. They used an all gear drive with a multi-disc clutch that ran in oil. When WW2
started they stopped production. The later tractors were on rubber. I never had one on rubber all were on steel. I still have the moldboard plow from one these tractors and adapted
it to my Gilson Garden tractor. The hydraulics
pick it up easily. That's a nice collection of tractors you have. Nice looking hay too. Hal
