O.K. here we go. Just so you know everything the tractor was driven in to a garage about 3 years ago. Don't know if it was cooled down before it was shut off. Another thing we don't know is how the tractor was left, in gas or diesel mode, some say this may have an effect on the valves. Anyway the pan was removed and the rod caps on #1 and #4 were lowered about 1/4 inch or so and then the pistons were pushed up very carefully. Knowing these two were not stuck we tightened the caps pulling the pistons back down and then tried to get to #2 and #3. We modified (bent)a wrench an did the same to #2. It was stuck but not too bad. We couldn't get to #3 so we sprayed BP blast in the cylinder and let it sit for a few days.(#3 was stuck bad.) Then with the help of a big pipe wrench it finally turned over. In the last few days we have rebuilt the carb, put in new plugs, wires, cleaned up the mag, put in new points and condenser in the mag and installed a new cap and rotor. It took us a while but I'm quit sure we got it in time. How I know this is while turning the engine by hand when #1 come up to TDC the mag will light you up if you happen to he holding the plug wire. This is not funny. Now what I mean when I say it seems to be out of time is that it backfires. A lot. We have removed the breather and you can see down into the the carb and partly into the intake. While tring to start it up it will backfire back up this hole. What I'm thinking is its firing through a warped or possibly a burnt valve.#3. Thats why we only have 40lbs compression. Looks like we will pull the head in the next few days. Unless you may think its somthing else. sorry so long. THANKS
