Hello,
Recently bought a 1942 John deere B that has been sitting for some time in a barn, was told it last ran about 10 years. I power washed it and starting cleaning it up. I drined the oil and removed the filter and the oil was chunky and was sludged up. There was a little bit of water but think that may have been from the power washing. What is the best method to flush out the old oil and sludge? It does not run yet. I am trying to get it ready to start, carburetor needs to be cleaned/rebuilt and I think the magneto should be rebuilt. Any suggestions on cleaning the sludge out of the crankcase?
Thanks,
Brandon
