About five, years ago I got a DC from my neighbor that was sitting out in his yard getting rusty.I thought I would try to get it running. To make a long story short it has a cracked heads bent pushrods and bad piston.Just recently I found another DC that looks like it might have a good engine for 50 bucks and I'll give him 100 if the engines good.I have a few questions about the tractors I hope some one could answer. If the tractors sit for a long time will the liners start to leak? If I can get the engine to turn should I try to start it or take the head off and look it over? Also the serial numbers are 5505540 and 5527586 are all the parts interchangable? There such unique tractors I hate to let them go to waste. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The push rods in your tractor are probably bent because someone tried to turn the engine with the valves stuck. If the valves are stuck, you should remove the rocker arm assembly before turning the engine. Push rods can be straightened however, if they aren't bent too badly. Check the antifreeze level in the radiator in the engine you are purchasing. Drain a little oil out of the bottom of the oil pan and see if there is any antifreeze in it. If there is antifreeze in the oil, it could be more than just a leaking liner seal. Water could have gotten into the cylinder and froze and cracked the liner. There are some good articles in the Article Archieves on this web site on freeing stuck engines.

Dale,
If the tractor has been stored without water/antifreeze there is the possibility that the rubber seals are rotten or have dried out. Taking the head off will tell you how much wear the sleeves have, but thats about all. I don't know if its wise or not but if an engine turns over easily we attempt to start it. If it starts then we immediately check the oil pressure gauge and then after it has run awhile we check the oil itself to see if its leaking water into the oil. The two tractors are both from the same model year (1951)and all parts will interchange (except for on different options)or will bolt right on. Good Luck with your project! Don
