I am replacing the head gasket on my wd and I can't get the head lose to get it off. I got all the bolts out and tried prying and wiggling it off to no avail. Any suggestions.
thanks in advance

Count your head bolts. Should be 15 bolts. Twelve 1/2" bolts and three 3/8" bolts

If this is a running tractor, just loosen all of the headbolts and start it up. It'll pop loose after a couple of quick throttle blips.

Frank, I just had a similiar problem on a CA. After making sure I hadn't missed a bolt somewhere, I used a short piece of 4X4 and a heavy hammer to break it loose. Just don't hit the manifold. Worked about the 3'rd or 4th lick.

Put the plugs in and rock it gently. If all the bolts are out, it will give.

Your right if I had a green one, I wouldn't have a problem with it. It would be sitting in the front yard as a yard ornament.

I dunno, a neighbor has a JD "A" that he uses to rake hay and a few other light chores, and I'll be darned if he don't put a head gasket on it every 2 years or so...

as for your stuck head, I had one similar on a "WC" I was parting for the block, I had the whole front end of it hanging off the ground by the chainfalll, jumping on frame rails until it came off... took a bit too (And I'm not a lightweight either) Found out in the end that the stuck bolt hole had a crack and the water got in there and rusted it pretty good.

Good Luck,

Brad Gyde
