I have a John Deere 550 Crawler. I have been getting occasional water in the oil, usually it is not the other way around, it seems to always be water in oil, not oil in the water at least not to a noticeable level. Through a little research I am guessing it is an oring around the cylinder sleeve. I have a few questions based on that.
First, is that what it sounds like the problem is?
Can I remove and replace that sleeve without pulling the motor out of the crawler?
Is this a DIY job or do I need to take it in? We do lots of tractor and automotive work but I have never pulled a sleeve.
Should I overhaul the whole motor or just fix the leak?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
