Have a Timber Jack 205 log skidder that I use during the winter months. It has a Ford diesel motor, was told the same one that is in a Fordson Super Major tractor. Brother was using it last spring and the engine lost almost all power and started dumping oil out the breather tube. Quite a bit of oil. He shut it down right away, and it has sat since. I figured a hole in a piston. Pulled the motor out and opened it up this weekend, and all pistons looked fine. Everything else internally looked fine too. Any ideas as to where I should look next? I never knew it had a decompression on it, but I found a lever that appears to be just that. If that could have somehow gotten moved to the decompress position would that have caused it to puke the engine oil out? Thinking about rebuilding anyway since the engine is out, so any good places to get a rebuild kit and a clutch for this machine? Timberjack dealer has parts, but they are "proud" of their stuff. Would like to find someplace cheaper if possible.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
