I left my grader at my friends pumpkin/entertainment farm when I hauled it home from the auction. Last week I put some ATF/Acetone in the cylinders. Today I pulled the valve cover, #1 intake valve has a broken washer that is just below the valve cap, #2 exhaust valve is stuck, #3 exhaust valve spring is broken. I was thinking of just pulling the head but after giving it more thought, have decided to pull the entire engine. It really is less work then just the head and the whole engine will be in my shop so I can go through it. Everything is on display until Oct 31 so if I get my act together, I could get the engine in good shape and back in the machine by then. I might even be able to drive it home.

Shameless, right now it doesn't drive in snow well at all, then again it doesn't drive on dry ground either! You aren't planning something for early November, are you?
