I guess I'll be surprised if it was the break-in that caused any problem with an H. You may find the oil pump has a twisted off shaft or other major malfunction.

He also did not use plastigage and had to pull the tractor to get it started. It spun all four rod bearings. He could not believe that the crank was not worn at all.
