I have been trying to get this one for years and finally talked her in to it. Maybe I know why now with the issues. Still happy with it of course but sure would like to be able to use it soon !

So if it isn’t going to break free I am looking at a rebuild then ?

So the little barb fittings on the top half of injectors was hitting the valve cover. I didn’t realize it and kept turning it and broke that off.

So a couple updates. Got the injectors out and solution in and it’s soaking. Covered with a rag to keep out any extra junk. The far right was full of oil and the other two dry. The middle one bubbled some and then had brownish looking bubbles rising to the top , I assume this is a good thing...

Yeah even another 2k I think I am still ok on the deal. Thank you.

I did get that ! And believe me I am counting down to the regular season !! I will pick up the acetone on my way home and get started tonight!

Ok I will look at that too. I don’t guess it will hurt to pour solution there and in injectors. Stands to reason if that’s where water got in then that’s a good starting place.

Ha ! For sure , it’s in my barn now and that’s where she will stay when not in use. I sure don’t understand why she left the tractor outside like that. She had a lean to with nothing in it but I guess some people just don’t know.

Can I simply partially reinstall injectors while it is soaking to keep more moisture out ?

Thanks, I will try it. Going to pull injectors tonight and get something in there to start soaking. I may use the flywheel to turn it , easier than taking the loader and radiator and whatever else off it looked like. I am certain there is water in it. The exhaust was ran vertically with a 45...

Thanks Wolfman. Sort of what i feared. Next question, is this machine worth it to rebuild?

Hello everyone. Thanks for accepting me ! Need some help. I looked through as many post as I could and unless I am overlooking it don’t see the exact same issue, I may be dealing with multiple. After many many years of dreaming of owning my own tractor I had one practically ( not literally)...
