Did you ever have any luck locating a seal kit?

Thanks guys for all of your advice. I managed to get it in gear and after driving around the yard a bit the clutch freed itself. I probably will end up splitting it anyways and cleaning everything up and replacing the release bearing at the least.

Thanks, I would love to split it but right now I don't have a good work surface. Just grass and a gravel drive way.

Update - I managed to get the helicoil installed. It wasn't bad, I drilled the hole with the head still on to use as a guide. The only problem I had was starting the tap straight. I got everything back together and managed to crank it last night. Thanks for all of the replies.

I've been working on this tractor off and on for a few months now and finally got it to crank last night. Now I push the clutch in and it bogs the motor down and smokes. It sat up for about 5 years in the weather so the clutch is rusted pretty bad. Whats the best way to go about freeing this...

Yes they were clean. They all had a little oil in them but I ran a bolt down each hole by hand prior to installing the head and didn't have any problems. Will a helicoil be ok for a head bolt? I already have the correct size kit on hand from another project. Thanks for your help.

Re: L1801DT - Need advice I had a chance to take the head off last night. Is it normal for a diesel to have this much carbon build up?

Here's a couple of pics. The first one is the L1801dt? the second is the L1500 that I've had for two years now.

Thanks for the help guys. I just realized this must be an L1801dt. I have another tractor. It's an L1500 and I was comparing motors. The new one has Z851 stamped on the injector pump. I'm I asuuming correctly? Also, how much different are the Z750 and Z851 motors as I've already ordered a head...

I recently purchased an L1501DT that would not crank. It has low compression. I'm thinking its a blown head gasket. There's oil in the radiator and a head bolt has been replaced that is not the right size. My question is when I pull the head is there a way to check the rings without pulling the...
