antifreeze down the side of the block & pushing up from a head bolt above the leak where the head meets the block. Currently draining the radiator
down as we speak & trying not to have a canary. The down side of that is, the coolant is coming out at a trickle now & there's most of a 2 1/2 gal
jug to fill. I fear the remainder ended up where it shouldn't be. In the cylinders, for example. None in the oil pan is a good sign. I had that
draining while the coolant was going in. No sign of that coming out from that hole yet. I gotta say, I don't need this nonsense right now. Also
don't need the expense of whatever else has been ruined by the leaky gasket. The money tree in the back yard is looking a little bare. Was looking
forward to making my 3rd cutting with it in a week or so. Wanted to fix the 806 this fall, because the rear main just sprung a leak amongst other
issues that need to be addressed. Guess I need to tear this tractor down again & quit grumpin' about it. Is there a quick & easy way to do this job
without pulling everything off again? Does anyone recommend a good company that makes head gaskets that isn't FELPRO? Was thinking about going
through Olson's. Don't recall if they have a different source for those or not. Been happy with their products so far, but I don't know if there
have been any changes in there suppliers recently.
Thanks,
Mike
