Farmall300U is on target with this. If it is rings, there is a pretty easy test. It takes two people that are operators, and not just friends. (I think it is rings myself if the oil does not fix it.) With it warmed up and running, tow the tractor in second gear with another tractor in second gear. Not real fast. Idle your H down so the other tractor has to pull it and it makes burbling noises like you were slowing down with the throttle from road speed. Pull it no more than 1/4 mile for this test, and do not over speed the engine. This causes maximum engine vacuum to be applied to the intake valves. If the guides are loose, this will make it smoke like a chimney. If they are OK, or it smokes just a little more, it is likely rings. If it has only a few hours on it sense it has been sitting for a long time, give it a chance to come around. Do the rebuild in the winter if it still smokes. Repair can be easily done with modest tools and about 1000 dollars in parts (this includes antifreeze and new filters etc.) This site has good kits that include new cylinder sleeves and pistons that can boost the power of the engine (enough to be impressed) Jim

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
