Well, that first shop that did some tranny and t/a work said that my ( recent purchased)1206 motor was shot, low compression and only dyno'd 55hp. I brought it to another local shop and they checked it out. Turns out the timing was wrong. They set it correctly, and it dyno'd where she should be, and notably very little blow by. Hmm, exact opposite of what the first guy said. Starting to think maybe the first mechanic was hoping for a sure thing for the next 3 months bar tab! I am happy today, now on to the paint job, rear tires, and she should be all ready for work this spring. Will be putting in about 260 acres, oldest tractor is a 1967, newest is a 1970, hope to have a job for all 5 tractors!
