OK, I think I found the problem. Or I found a new problem. I took the air filter off, it was full of oil and gunk. Got that cleaned up. Took the carb off and got that cleaned up but I should go get a rebuild kit. I took off the cast iron exhaust. I took of the valve cover. Once in looking at the valves, I noticed the push rod closest to the gas tank (#4) was not connecting with the rocker arm. I loosened the nut and the screw, and got the push rod under the rocker arm. I then noticed what probably caused this issue. The opposite side of that rocker arm is a spring. This spring will not move. I can push all of the other springs down. This one will not budge. I hit with a hammer and it did move but then I thought I better not do that. (might be easier to pull out than push in). I sprayed PB Blaster to the stuck valve. Letting it sit over night. The million dollar question is: How to I get a stuck valve unstuck? I know I will need to buy a gasket kit when I go to put everything back together (valve cover gasket, carb gasket, exhaust gaskets). Hopefully I do not need to take the head off. I have never gone that deep into an engine. I am a little afraid.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
