Tried to break the engine loose this morning, but it was a no go. I didn't want to have a tractor that was rusted anyway, so I pulled it up to the shed and started to pull it down. The first pic shows what I found under the front valve cover. The second and third are of the intake pipe. 4th and 5th are looking in the front head ports, you can see the busted valve in the front exhaust port. The next pics are of the heads and cylinders as I took them off. Notice the hole in the first head. The busted valve did a lot of damage to that head and cylinder. The last are of the bearings. They are original and dated '68. They don't look too bad considering how poorly this tractor was taken care of. The oil was probly changed, but not often. the gunk is thick everywhere, check out the pic with the screw driver to gage the depth.
