JRT, You wrote: I think maybe the ring is stuck I ask: how much is no compression? Have you carried out a compression test - both dry and wet? Until you do we have litle in the way of hard facts to go on. If there is no compression at all it could be a hole in the piston. It should not sound too good either. All these things are very subjective - no hard facts/information, so you need to find out as much as you can before deciding on the most likely route for repair. Personally, as it will have about 4 rings on each piston I doubt you have seen inside an engine? (as you say "the ring is"). No problem - everyone has to start somewhere, but understanding the basics is easily found in a book. When an engine sits an exhaust valve will always be open and like as not this may not be sealing correctly after several years. It may be sticking or the head/seat rusted (we don"t know the conditions it has been in for the last several years). It may have a broken valve spring, a burn"t valve (from before it sat), a sticking stem stopping it closing properly, a cam lobe worn out (so too little valve lift), a broken or otherwise valve rocker. The inlet valve may have been open as well and that too may have problems ( a cylinder with just an inlet valve open is usually protected by the oil bath aircleaner). So upshot of all this is that is is useless soaking it in anything if the fault is a chipped valve or similar, so investigate a little further first. Hope this helps. Regards, RAB

Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
