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!

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+

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.
