I have a field found 841 with loader. No
telling how many years it sat in the weather
but i brought it home, took off loader, and got
it in garage. Not wanting to try to crank it
dry I squirted oil in the cylinders, turned
crank by hand a few times and then let starter
turn it over. These are my results. 135-170-
170-160 wet. I would like to have a dry reading
but a felt better oiling it because of its
condition. Question is with such a big
difference between #1 and everybody else,
should I bite the bullet and rebuild, or will
it start this way and give me one season of
work before a rebuild next winter?
Thanks
