Good day Boy o boy that was something inside! I guess buying a tractor that is seized is better than buying 1 running. Get it cheaper & you know what to do. What was that in the last cylinder? Thanks
Hey Don yeah it was a mess. Like you said buy one cheap that’s not running sometimes is better but then again if you have multiple problems it may cost you more. I’m not sure what was inside it but it sure was nasty.
I mess up the other day and piece of a file broke off into the spark plug hole on #1, will taking all that apart let me get at it? I've about got it all pulled apart but I cant get the head to budge to lift it off
Hey it might have been easier to use a magnet to get that piece out before pulling off the head. If all ur bolts and rockers are off then it should come off there.
@@nashsummers8050 thanks for the reply, I need a small bob Barker microphone magnet haha, can I just hammer a big screwdriver in-between there to try pry it up, it don't help I have a loader right in the way
That's an astonishing amount of crud inside the cylinders, perhaps at some point the mice built in an air cleaner pipe and they had tried to start it without any filter in place.
Another great video. That's a project for sure!
Good video, can’t believe the debris inside that engine, as bad as it gets. Will be a good tractor.
Good video got a d17 with same problem what do you thank you will have in engine try to decide if I want to fix it
Kevin I ended up locating a replacement engine for around $1000.

Where do you get parts for a 60 year old tractor that was made by a company that went out of business in 1985?
Rob, there are tons of parts for these tractors available. Some new, used and some aftermarket, but rarely have any issues finding anything.

Yeah never thought of that. It kinda looked like insulation to me. May end up doing an engine swap we will see.
Inside those cylinders is just nasty.
