The motor was blowing oil by the rings so the previous owner took it the the local Deseil tech school and they tore the motor down, they found some hair line cracks in the block between the sleeve holes. The previous owner didn't have the funds to continue so they boxed up the parts and the tractor and parts ended up in his pasture for the winter. My question is how serious is hair line cracks at the top of the block? Is this normal? And If it needs fixed or replaced what is the best route. [Reply]   [No Email]
