JD 1020 wet or dry sleeve??

old · Jul 12, 2016

So I have this 1020 in the shop and the owner says it is getting some antifreeze in the oil and wants me while I have it to check into what is wrong. So is this a wet sleeve engine or dry?? Figure it it is a wet sleeve engine I'll pull the oil pan and let it sit and see if it drips if a dry well then it has to be a head gasket or something like a cracked head.
Thanks.

John Deere engines with sleeves are wet sleeves. Look for electrolis on the sleeves too

Owner left old antifreeze in the cooling system instead of fresh.

Little to know history on this one the guy just got it a couple months ago

Time for an out of frame rebuild with high compression Pistons . I'll bet the cam and followers are worn too, nobody seems to look at them unless the cam is actually broken.
