I have been tinkering with a model 1520 tractor built August 4, 1992.
This Tractor is one of the long term problems in my work's repair shed, or so I am told. Been having overheating problems off and on for a
while. I did see it run well during the first few months of 2016. I was off work a while but when i got back it was in pieces and the tale was it
over heated and filled the sump with coolant. It was stripped down and the parts were dumped into a couple of large plastic drums.
A very helpful person here ID'd the tractor for me as I originally called it a 1910. My problem has turned out to be parts. I cannot find anywhere
in Australia that has a head gasket for it.
I'm willing to try the copper wire inlay method to reseal the old headgasket, but I am missing a pair of valve spring collets, any suggestions on a
source or an alternative.
