I changed the oil and filter yesterday. The oil only had 30 hours on it. That convinced me I have a bigger problem than just a stuck valve. The oil looked like brown rust.
My solution is to start the Jubilee when I mow my lawn. Let it run at 1500 rpms. It takes me 25 minutes to mow with the Kubota and 10 minutes to do the trim work with my Husqvarna.
Before I put the valve cover back on I'm going to spray the valve stems with seafoam fogging spray.
Before I put the valve cover back on, I'm going to show my son what I did to free up the exhaust valve.
I'm closing off the valve cover vent and installing a PVC valve so no condensation can get in through the valve cover. There is a vent in the oil fill cap.. If that's not enough vent, I make the vent hole bigger.
Time will tell if it works..
My problem is definitely condensation, not antifreeze.
I wish there was more oil on the valve train, so I'm going to use 5w30 full synthetic instead of 10w40.
I hate Indiana's condensation problem. About every 2 to 3 years condensation under my delco distributor cap on my 2007 GMC truck shorts out the spark and AAA gives my truck a ride home.

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.
