Thank you everyone for the help with the valve cover and everyone was right. It does come off and it wasn't to bad but I did have to hold my mouth just right, say the right words, I bent the tabs up a little bit and defiantly roll it over and out the right side. So thanks again everyone! Reason why I had to remove valve cover is the tractor ran perfect for the job I was doing. It got to dark outside so I figured to finish the job the next morning. Jumped on tractor next morning. When I cranked it over to start, sounded like it had no compression. Long story short it didn't have any compression! One push rod on #1 cylinder had kicked out and fell forward at the top toward rocker arm and didn't bend, push rod on #2 cylinder was out at the bottom and bent. Had to happen when I shut the engine down. So all men, women and children please learn by my mistake!! DO NOT let your engine do that spitting, sputtering and running backward like we've all have done at one time or another with any gas motor. I usually slow engine down to as low as I have the idle set, and I set it low for that creepy crawl but not this time...Had it running a little above idle when I shut the engine down. Did what anyone would do when the dinner bell rang...shut the tractor down and it wanted to spit and sput and run backwards so I did like we've all have done with almost any gas engine and that was, hold down on the brake for like 3 seconds and it shut down...Next morning no compression. Had to happen because I didn't let come all the way down to slowest idle. So everyone...Don't do what I did!! Dinner was good but lunch time sucked the next day :-) Now I got to figure out how to remove push rod.. Gas tank gonna have to move this time I believe. Anyway thanks for all your help and remember to bring your engine down to complete idle when shutting down!
