I bought this tractor two years ago. The P.O. had disassembled the engine, out in the woods. The head and the oil pan were removed. The wind had blown the covers off the block and the cylinders had water in them and moss was growing on the top of the block. Do you think that there is a chance of getting the pistons loose from the sleeves?
Should I push the piston and the sleeves out together?
Then what? Destroy the liners to save the pistons, or destroy the pistons, to save the liners.
When I put the engine parts in the shed, I found that there were two cam shafts. One had yellow marker writing on it. I assume that there was a problem in the valve train and that the rest of the engine was probably still good at that time.
Thank you
