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!
