I have been using a Petrol/Kero Major on my small acreage block for about 10 years and would like to continue the experience. However, the motor recently decided to run on 3 cylinders. Cause: one seized exhaust valve and bent push rod.
Worse still, it also appeared to be rock and roll time in the bores so I offed the sump and found pistons ( possibly the 1950s originals) in horrendous condition.
At end of day, I will need a complete overhaul kit including pistons and liners etc , but all the new parts on offer seem to be for diesel motors.
Have you any suggestions re parts. ?
I would prefer to keep the tractor original, but as a last resort, would a diesel motor drop in without too much hassle?
