I assume at some point of this project, I will not find any more have to fixes. I am later in my years and this tractor has become a hobby but I would like to enjoy my fixed tractor sometime. .
After cleaning up the block, cyclinder, and piston head, I discovered pitting in the top of the 3rd piston. I have not cleaned up the head yet to see if there is something on the top of it that would cause this. I am sure this is not good but the question I have is how bad is it. Is this a fix it now or your engine will blow up or is this a in a few years, you will have to rebuild the lower half of the engine. The cylinder walls look pretty good there are a few vertical scratches in the first cylinder but they I can't really feel them when I rub my finger over them.
I plan to use this tractor just for brush hogging my 15 acres over the summers. I have a new tractor for doing all the other stuff on the property.
Thanks for your input.
