Hi guys I have A SMTA that was getting coolant in oil so I parked it for over a year.Today I went to move it so I thought I would drain out the water from bottom of pan.I drained out what appeared to be a couple of gallons.My question is what is your opinion of where I could be leaking that much into crankcase?
 
Pull the oil pan and look up, if you can rent one from a parts house, pressurize the radiator with a tester.
 
remove oil pan and put a cardboard under it and you should be able to see yourself where its leaking. may have a crack around or in cyl. bore even between sleeve and bore. or could be crack in head. have rad full with water too. you could even remodel a rad cap for and air chuck and give it about 5lbs. of air, but you should have a regulator for this not to blow up the rad or hoses.

That is where I was headed, too. 2 gallons is a lot of water to take on from the radiator.

Was the tractor parked inside a shed for the year? If it was outside was the exhaust covered with something that is NOT A RAINCAP. Those things are junk for outside storage. They are ok if you get caught in the rain.
 
Don"t like the sound of that!! Seen too many of these get water down the cylinders,usually #3,and then crack the block.Maybe a long shot would be a freeze plug or even a head gasket.Like the guys said,a rain cap is NO sure fire way to keep water out of the engine,water can enter around a muffler seam,or down where the exhaust pipe threads into the manifold,even in rare cases through a burned out hole in the exhaust manifold.Seen them all-let us know just what you find,maybe you will be lucky!!!
