Good morning, Tom and all: This is irrelevant, but it came to mind from reading others comments. I had a 1958 Buick during 1980's, the hood had a decorative v-shaped groove down the center with a chrome molding. The hood had been repaired, and rubber washers that were supposed to make the thing water-tight were missing. One day, the car sat out during a bad rain storm; then I started it up and noticed a new noise, sounded like a collapsed lifter for a few minutes. after a few miles, I got on the interstate, and as I got up to speed, I heard a bad noise from the engine. I looked in rear view mirror, I could see smoke, and engine parts on the pavement behind me!!

Inside of engine block was cleaned out: rods, cam shaft, part of block broken, even broke the block where starter attaches (I found my starter lying on pavement).

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
