nigel 1,876 #30 Posted September 30, 2017 Well good and bad news got her running engine sounds sweet, so took the head off and I think I should be able to repair the split Broke stud of but should be able to get it out Then I knew I had a weeping core plug but on closer inspection showed some very odd , if you look where I have drawn the arrow some Cornish farmer has drilled a hole and inserted a screw? 1 ranger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel 1,876 #31 Posted September 30, 2017 So I thought ok,! Let's take the starter motor off and have a look at the other two core plugs ! Now blimey I've seen some and done some bodges in my time but this takes the biscuit a big lump of wood rammed into the core plug hole Last Picts are engine numbers 1 ranger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I had seen some hacked and buggered tractors, but Nigel it will be hard to knock your tractor out of first place.

Stormin 4,458 #33 Posted October 1, 2017 I would assume by the bodges, it had be left with no antifreeze in one winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably the reason for the wooden core plug Norm, save money on antifreeze, when it freezes the ice pushes the plug out easier than it would a metal one, and doesn't crack the casting Knowing some of the farmers around here, that seems perfectly plausible. They drain the coolant,(water) out of the combines, irrigator pump engines etc, for the winter, and then wonder why they need new water pumps the following year You also need to use the right type of wood to ensure the coefficient of expansion matches that of the casting 1 Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
