Hello- This forum is addictive. ;) I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight into a problem I ran into about a year ago. I was driving though a particularly muddy area with a pull-behind brushhog, and ended up getting stuck. After disconnecting the brushhog and spending a few minutes trying to get out, it became obvious that I wasn't. So I left it idling, went back to the house, and came back with another tractor to pull it out. To my surprise I saw the BN puffing out a plume of white smoke. I rushed over, turned the engine off, towed it back to the garage and inspected it. The engine was fairly difficult to turn, but did turn none the less. Over the years the head has become cased in a cake of dried oil and dust...what alarmed me was that the cylinder nearest to the fan (#1 I'm assuming?) had completely burned off all of that. Obviously that cylinder, and only that one, got very hot. Once everything cooled, the engine turned normally, and ever since seems to be fine, with just as much power as it ever had. Also, it was a cool spring day. What could have happened? Since I have pretty much the whole front half of the tractor apart, should I put a new head gasket on? But I guess when you think about it, the head is independent from everything but the intake/exhaust manifold, so I could just as easily do it later. I don’t know. What do you people think? Thanks. ffolkes

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
