Everything was good. Well, I changed the water pump ran the engine for awhile and decided to change the oil/filter. I pulled the drain plug and the oil was full of water. Is there any way water could have got in the engine while changing the water pump? My gut instinct tells me I have o-ring problems and better make some decisions. [Reply]   [No Email]

If so, did you run the engine low on water prior to changing the pump. If so, maybe a cracked head. I know of no other reason for SUDDEN massive leakage into the oil pan.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Bought the tractor anyway, and found when I got it home that one of the engine inspection plates had a gasket that had formed a small funnel on the top edge. This was funneling rain water into the crankcase every time it rained for who knows how long. So, it was not an internal problem after all. In view of this, check or replace those gaskets on the inspection plates and keep the bolts tightened. --- Derrol in Texas (Case LA Propane)   [Reply]   [Send Email]

You can remove a front inspection cover and watch. One way to prevent is to park tractor downhill.   [Reply]   [No Email]
