Just Picked up my JD 2020 yesterday, Wished I had checked the head more carefully, Buyer Beware!
Noticed crack on the end of it by the front of the engine, looks like some JB weld or some other kind of Liquid patch oozing out, Checked Dip stick no water or antifreeze,seemed to be in on it, The Guy sold me the 2020 Gaser, seemed like a stand up Guy, When asked of any known cracks or Repairs. Tractor starts up and runs good although I have'nt put it under much strain yet,I guess I will have to take my lickings and get it repaired, Please comment on any Suggestions Thanks, Tim

You start at the top and remove everything then remove head bolts then you probley will need a 3' pry bar to pop it lose pretty simple just takes time .

I repaired one of those heads once although I think it was the same series engine but a six cylinder. That one was a nice thick casting and I pinned it. It was an internal crack. If you take the head off take it to shop that is experienced with pressure testing. That is where I would start. Remember not all cracks leak.
