I bought this from a friend. He had used it to brush hog and left it outside for about a week after using it and then it would not crank over by starter so he put in a new battery and then it still wouldn't so he pulled the starter out and bench tested it and it was fine. So he tried to turn the engine by hand and it would not budge. I bought the tractor from him after that and have torn the engine down and managed to free it up. My problem is that I could not find any obvious problem with the head gasket. Is their a common place that the heads or blocks crack on these tractors, I need to take the head into the machine shop any way and probably need to take the block in and have new sleeves pressed in, so I can have it magnufluxed but that will not do any good if their is a crack internally. May be I should put the head back on with the old head gasket or some permatex and try pressure testing and see if I can find a leak.

Thanks
