5 pointsMy wife figured out how to create AI images

3 pointsThis picture shows piston wash. The clean area is from oil getting past the rings and washing the carbon off the top of the piston.

2 pointsHave a Great Day Terry and thanks for all you do for us.

2 pointsI would also think it would smoke??
-
2 pointsI would think if all that oil was getting up past the rings the plug would have been fouled....
-
2 pointsWhere the top of the piston and combustion chamber has no carbon because of leaky rings. Dan skooled me this. @Achto got a pic??? I'm sure the Squonky @squonk has seen it.

2 pointsI think anything below about freezing temperature you should have it on there. And it shouldn't matter if it's ACR or not. The oil isn't going to mind one way or the other. It's about keeping things lubed up more appropriately. A slightly warmer oil will Lube the engine better and sooner.
-
2 pointsYes I bought one last year my self, for that K241 non ACR engine Eric. I think 30 and 20,s should be fine. After that I will use the block heater.
-
2 pointsI use a magnetic heater on my 1975 C160 Automatic. Definitely makes a huge difference. Also a lot less expensive than propane.

2 pointsAI is going to kill us all. You first when she sees that! LOL

2 pointsThis if you plan on staying around and enjoy these ol tractors it is well worth the price of admission to become a supporter. You would be hard pressed to find a better bunch of 's then what's on here and all the W/H knowledge you want find anywhere else.

2 pointsSomething is broken or someone put on the wrong tie rod(s)

1 pointAnd whilst you're in there look at the piston edge closest to the exhaust valve. I bet it's eaten away.

1 pointHappy Birthday Terry. I hope you have a great day. We sure miss seeing your smiling face at the Big Show.

1 pointMy brother worries me. Every time he drives by a dairy farm, he pulls over and leaves a few dollars on the fence. Doesn't he know cow tipping is illegal?

1 pointI'm not the music enthusiast I used to be but I did see Stevie Ray Vaughan in Pittsburgh many, many years ago when he opened for the Outlaws and then his brother with the Fabulous Thunderbirds in San Antonio a few years later in Hemisphere Park during Cinco de Mayo, I think that was maybe 1989. Memories...
-
1 pointI agree with @ri702bill about it being backed into or something similar. I think the mule drive has been injured as well...
-
1 pointMove the steering wheel until these two parts are vertical, then take a look at the front end. It may provide clues as to where the problem is.
-
1 pointNot a bad idea - especially for those of us who are getting older and wiser. Just tonght, I got the MF GC1720 loaded on the trailer. I shut off the fuel for transport and noticed that the charge light was on for the emergency trailer brake battery. Not knowing how much it will take to charge it from the truck battery, I unplugged the trailer from the truck. Got to remember to plug the trailer in before I leave in the morning. Should leave a note on the tractor key to turn the fuel back on, too.

1 pointThanks Achto: I have one for the early 60`s K241engine. Those have no ACR.
-
1 pointI would say then is pop the head and check for oil wash. Never hurts anyway to check the bore, valves & decarbon.
-
1 pointI don't understand... Why does she need help?
-
1 pointThanks. This is what I would have guessed. I’m thinking that the next time I do an oil change I’ll tape the key to a checklist that I can review before trying to start the engine!
-
1 pointI'm guessing here but did the previous owner buy new tie rods that were too short. to the
-
1 pointGotcha... actually it's pretty good... I'm thinking it's most likely just dirty... I'm noting improvements as I run it, so I'm thinking it's just a matter of time before I get to good... everything on this has been pretty dirty so far... so I'm just keeping up with cleaning as I go and we'll see...

1 pointTypically the order of flow through a pressurized oil system is pump, filter, crank bearings, cam bearings, lifters/valve train, and then back to the pan. If the engine was started, with oil in it, it would be EVERYWHERE.
-
1 pointA bent or loose steering arm needs to be fixed / replaced before throwing good money at it buying adjustable tierods with replacable joints. Note the relative placement of the rh and lh outer tierod joints - they look about the same - yet the lhe slindle IS damaged. Note the damage to the upper hood - looks like a vehicle backed into it - a coincidence that the spindle took a beating too???? Methinks a LOT more is bent / busted / broken here than meets the eye.
-
1 point@rjg854 I agree, looks pretty good to me.
-
1 pointThat doesn't appear to signs of burning oil
-
1 pointOriginal engine that's been bored with new piston, rod & crankshaft. Good (solid) functioning 42" deck no holes and snow blade. Starter/Generator still works fine. Needs front tires and a muffler. Front tires are original "Wheel Horse" tire and totally dry rotted. has both rear hitches. I do have the deck belt cover and headlight assy. Will fire up and drive onto a trailer. I've owned for about 45 years. Time to go. Priced to sell.

1 point1964 W/Horse model 1054A; I decided to let some of my tractors go. I believe I have everything for the 1054A, including extras. The one thing missing was the original 10hp Kohler with the starter/generator. It did have a later model 10hp Kohler. I pulled it and replaced it with an old 16hp Kohler I had (high hours, runs well) and I added a voltage regulator. Fuel tank is good. Hydraulic pump worked when I parked it. I think the wiring is original. Tractor has been in my storage barn many years. Fired right up to take pics. Included: “2 mower decks, one good deck & one rusty parts deck (no holes)”; “42inch snow blade”; “2 sets of rear tires & wheels”: “new replacement headlight lenses”; “new PTO clutch disc lining”; Both Kohler engines go with it and all the extra parts. Everything has been in dry storage since I got it. I'm pricing low to sell & clean out garage. Local pick-up only.

1 pointWhat does your spark plug look like??? Picture please
-
1 pointHe stated Bill. Might be worn rings causing some blow by to push oil out the breather. Fairly typical with our working singles.
-
1 pointDefine "loosing oil" if you would. A small amount on the dipstick between oil changes shouldn't be alarming IMO...and clean that thing You might want to pull the valve cover and make sure that it's clean so oil can return to the case rather than being blown out the vent. Replacing those gaskets might be in order. Looks pretty good to me for a working unless I'm missing something. A good rinse might show something more but I'm not seeing it.
