I hope somebody will give me a little direction or outside insight. Please!
I have freshly rebuild this little tractor last summer. Everything new but the block. It was meticulously build to the best specs i coukd obtain. Furthermore, It was used lightly and only a few hours this year. Never had an issue of any kind.
After sitting a few weeks, I was getting ready to use this tractor on a big tilling job so I checked my oil as I routinely do. It was a good bit high! It looked normal but a little thin and smelled a little used. I figured I'll just change the oil to be safe.
I also figured maybe a bad seal in the hydraulic pump to lookout for. When I pulled the oil plug about 2-3 cups of pure green antifreeze came gushing out.
Holy s%@^ RIGHT!!
There is zero oil mixed in the oil. No milkyness at all. There is zero oil in the coolant. There was antifreeze droplets all on the rocker assembly but no milkyness. The radiator coolant was below the core suggesting it in fact leaked in the case.
I pulled the head and no visible signs of a blown gasket. The pistons do not look as if coolant has sat on them etc.
I do not see any visible cracks in the sleeves or the head.
What would you look for and what would your process of elimination be?? Maybe I can't see the forest for the trees. I'll upload some pics and will gladly upload more if any kind soul will offer some help!!
