You guys are right, I left off the fact that the engine is on a Super M and to my best observatins it has a rebuild on it followed by a stuck piston and rings in #3 cylinder probably due to a rustout spot in the intake/ex. manifold. Serial # also indicates that originally it was a distillate engine and now it has domed or stepped pistons. Tractor had set up for ?? years but is all there and too good to give up on. Engine did not have much of a groove at top of cylinder. I 'll check end gap and verify the clyinders have tolerable taper prior to assembly.

Wrist pin on #3 is also a little stiff what do you recommed? Does this pin float in the piston and the rod? Looks that way to me. If so, I guess I need to remove the pin, clean it, and lube it.

While I am firing questions, the water pump on this tractor has a spring type arrangement in the center of the pulley. What is it's function as the pulley turns O K but I am concerned that the pump is stuck and merely slipping via this mechanism.

As you can tell I can't speak farmall as good as I should but my dad and I just can't stand to see something old and not running stay that way.
