John Deere Engine

So as some of you know my dad donated his john deere tractor to me after it was clinking like crazy and wouldn't start, he said it was after forgetting oil so I figured something happened to the crank and it was probably toast. Well because we are moving to a small neighbour hood and I wont need a riding lawn mower I decided I would crack open the engine and take a look. Well happy I didn't sell it cause all that happened was the rocker keeper came unscrewed so the intake valve stopped open. As soon as I set it up correct I was good to go!! I am going to grab a new headgasket cause I opened it up when I was trying to diagnose then will be back to 100%. Now if I can just get the damn blade to engage!

Nice!

Atta boy! Love those fixed it stories. Take that "throw it away and buy a new one" society!!

Yeah seems to be all too common these days. Need to find some of those people so I can buy it for peanuts fix it and flip it!

The best part is that I would have been lucky to get 500 with it not running. Now that it's good I should easily be able to get 1500+

Sounds like a YouTube channel waiting to happen.

haha would love to but I have no time. Editing videos is very time consuming. Maybe if I start working from home more often again I will start back up.
