Well, presents werent the only thing that I found as a surprise this morning.
Its sunny and balmy here in Upstate NY (above 40 even!) so I went out to go play with the "new" tractors. The one that looks in worse shape, I started to pull the spark plugs from. I dont know why, but for some reason I couldnt seem to get a spark plug socket over the plugs. I dont know if there is a secret, or a special socket for these heads, but I finally got them. The plugs look terrible, and one had some greenish crystals on it. Not good.
With the plugs out, I tried to turn it over with the crank. No go. Taking old's sage advice, all four cylinders are now filled with ATF. Let the waiting begin.
The second BN I started to pull the plugs, but they were loose already.. Hmmm..
ALL FOUR cylinders were filled up with water. Definitely not good. Thats not a good present to unwrap. This one wont turn over with the plugs out either. I jacked up one wheel, tried to rock it loose, nothing else, no extra water out of it except from what happened when I shook it.
So, I now have to stuck engines, one of which has ATF in it now. I didnt add any ATF to the other one since I figured it would just float on the water, which isnt going to help. Is there a good way to get the water out of the cylinders without pulling the head? Or should I just go get the gasket set and pull the head to see what really awaits me in there?
I dont have a shop, so things are all out of doors, which I know isnt good once you start opening things up.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
