I just rebuilt a 1941 John Deere Model H. Sometimes it can be a little fickle to start so when it is I tow it behind my truck and bump start it. I did it before and it started fine. Yesterday, however, when I popped the clutch the left wheel was attempting to (and partially succeeding) in turning backward while the right one was turning forward as it is supposed to do. This is all while towing it! The end result was that water ended up gushing out of the exhaust stack. Cylinders were full of water, carb full of water, etc. I can only assume I blew a head gasket. Question: what in holy heck could have caused the left wheel to turn backward, and was that the cause of my supposed blown head gasket (ie: did I hydraulic the motor)? Hoping I didn't do more damage than just a gasket....
