I'm baffled as I was watching the gauges before and after the incident. It didn't get hot.
Oil pressure was/is 45PSI at WOT and drops to about 35 at idle. Water temp never got over about 160 degrees. What little I have worked it so far the new gauge seems to cycle up to about 160 and then will drop back to 150 and slowly back up to 160. I guess that's the thermostat opening and closing. Previously it had no thermostat and wouldn't get much over 100 degrees no matter how hard I worked it. I haven't done a compression test lately but the one I did when I got it showed 130-140 psi on all cylinders.
It doesn't smoke or use any oil and will lose traction before stalling dragging a 2/14" C20 plow. It has great power.
No engine noise before or since. It didn't have any white smoke coming out before is seized so I guess it couldn't have gotten much water in the cylinder.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
