Howdy Men, I have what appears to be a very badly stuck u model. Have had it soaking for nearly a mont now and still nothing. Could anyone please give me some suggestions. Or should I just bust out the pistons and do a overbore and get some pistons from WENDELL up in ohio? I am open to all opinions. THANKS MEN.

Fix it right to me means fix it so it is right. Pull it down and make sure when you are done that it is a professional job. If you are going to keep it you don�t have to worry about a failure. If you sell it you know you are not selling a pig in a poke. Back to the old saying �if a job is worth doing it is worth doing well�.

I have unstuck many engines...I would first try to unstick it and see if it really smokes! I have been lucky a number of times and did not have to rebuild a recently unstuck engine...The best way that works for me is you put the tractor in high gear and rock the back wheels back and forth and that usually fixes em'

Fix it right? That could have 200 different meanings.

Fix it right to me means tearing it down and pressing the pistons out. Based on the condition of the bores and pistons, you might need to rebore and get new pistons or replace the pistons.

Some people will go to great lenghts to avoid tearing down an engine and once they get it running it will smoke or worse. It just is not worth taking short cuts.
