Hey paul I watched the same show It did not sound quite right to me. I dont know what kind of motor they were using on these tractors the pickup screen floats and picks up from the top of the pan I beleve so it does not get sediment and water and such it pivits up and down So your pan would have to be crushed pretty much on on of these to do that. The thing that gets me about those shows is I watch American Chopper pretty often and Vin,Vance or what ever his name is is supposed to be mechanicly inclined hes the one that soups up everything. Well when he was doing the Mikey Vinny Bike I think He did a 103 CU upgrade on a harley motor and got it all done and it would not fire up. This is what gets me he spent hours working on that bikes ign changing parts and everything could not figure why it would not fire rechecked his wireing harness witch I think came from harley one that he did not make all of anyways. And just about cryed when he had to push it to the stage with it not running maybe he did cry and they did not show it. But anyways the point here is He spent all that time trying to figure out his mistake for getting it to spark and it turned out to be harley gave him push rods that were to long and were holding the valves open so there was not compression on that cylinder or both.
COME ON NOW he never checked the plugs for spark????He played with the ign for hours when nothing was wrong with it, Sound kind of rediculas to me. He has built and started enough bikes you would think that it would sound different turning over without commpression also. I dont know I think alot of these things are just made for TV veiwing. Sorry for rambling I had teeth pulled yesterday and am on some pretty good drugs". TAKE CARE JON
