Seeing that there is no anti-freeze in the oil from what I can tell, I think I'm going to start with a fresh oil change and run it hard for an hour or so. This tractor sat for 99.9% of the time in an unheated garage. Then I came along and heated it up for a 1/2 hour or so on a 25° day and shut it off. I'm HOPING just condensation but prepared for more. I'm hoping the bubbles are cavitation but we'll see. I never checked for them when it was hot. If I do need to pull the head, I think I'll give it a try myself. Will the head, rocker ams, valves and all the goodies come off as one unit? Or do the rockers, valves and all have to come off before I pull the head? If not, I'll take the whole head assembly to a machine shop and let them work on it and check for cracks. Thanks again guys! One of many more to come , I'm sure.....Oh yea, I did bring it home today.....The saga begins.....
