Help Me Think

Mornin',

Lost 2 cylinders all at once on my ol' gasser tractor. Compression is swappin' holes between cylinders 2 and 3. No fluid loss of any sort. It was running fine one second, the next it is running on four. No noise, no warning, no nothin'.

An hour earlier, I had moved the tractor the 14 miles in here from out at the farm. It ran like a champ all the way. There is a very long (1 mile) and steep hill just before the drive here and I wonder if the backpressure of coming down that long hill finally made 'er let loose.

Has anyone actually ever seen a head gasket fail between two cylinders on these old IH gassers? I really don't wanna put an engine in it, but guess I will if I'm forced to. Too much blood, sweat and tears in it now. :>)

I'm pretty darned sure this is a 301 out of a combine, but don't really know for sure.

Allan
