M602-LP - #3 full of water

Howdy all,

My brother-in-law has a M602-LP with a front end loader. It had been sitting for over 6 months and he asked me to help him get it started.

After a tune-up (new points, condenser, plugs, wires, etc) the tractor was running like a champ. :-)

Three weeks later he calls and says he can't get the tractor to turn over. When I get there and hit the starter button, the motor acts like it is locked up (the starter hits, but the motor does not turn).

When I pull the plugs, i find cylinder 3 is FULL OF WATER! Cyl 1, 2, and 4 look fine. The tractor had been running fine (according to my BIL) when he parked it. Open the radiator and guess what..no water there...

on a good note, there is no water in the oil that I can see.

I have not started a tear down of the motor yet.

Any and all information welcome...I am a newbie to tractors (work mainly on old dodge cars for fun).

I am assuming the head gasket is leaking water into #3. So what is the recommendations? new gaskets? what else should/needs to be changed? Where is a good place to get gaskets and other parts that are needed to get her running again?


Thanks

R/T Jeff Polasek

I fear than you are going to find that head cracked. You may get lucky and find that it's a head gasket (I never get lucky) but my guess is a crack. You may be able to have the crack repaired but I would get the casting number off the head and commence a search for a replacement.
