rankrank1 said: (quoted from post at 19:34:16 05/12/14) After you get the stuck valves freed up, the push rod straightened (yes they can be straightened in some cases), and the valve lash adjusted: Consider adding a touch of Marvel Mystery oil, cheap 2 stroke oil, ATF, kerosene, diesel, or even 303 hydraulic oil to your gas from now on into the future.
This modern gas along with tractors that are not used as much as they were used in the past seems to see more stuck valves and bent pushrods.
I add a touch of whatever I have handy at the timefor some extra valve train lubricant.
plus one on adding some oil-lube to the gas.
In the fuel it then atomizes right with the gas and gets on everything in the combustion path.
And when oil makes contact with metal, it tends to 'creep' which is a good thing in this case.
I don't measure, just dump a little in every time I gas up.
(or measure it into my gas cans, so all tractors get some)
too much? won't hurt nothing, it'll just smoke til the next fill and the ratio gets better.
need proof it works? pull apart an old 'oil burner' engine.(bad rings, etc)
