Hey everyone.
So here is a link to my ongoing thread that essentially gives you some detail as to what I use my tractor for and how much I appreciate her
http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/352299-new-young-uneducated-owner-1969-a-5.html
Last weekend I came out to water on the dipstick/milky oil.
I have all the manuals for the 1020 series JD tractors so I removed the injectors, took the valve cover off, took the rocker arm assembly out and push rods, and removed the head from the lower end.
I took the pan off and inspected from below.
Here is my question but I don't have 5K to spend on the tractor at the moment...
How do I go about removing the liners? And is it even necessary? I cannot state for certain that the HG is the cause of the water intrusion.
I do not know if my tractor has ever been updated with the "3 o-ring liners" vs. the conventional single o-ring units so I am leaning on just replacing them.
Thoughts?
Also what does it mean in the manual when it states "make sure the liners are bolted down" before removing the rod bearing caps to push the pistons from the bottoms and out through the top of the block?
I was not planning on removing the crank, is that correct in thinking?
Am I going to have to replace piston rings and rod bearings?
Any thoughts and/or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
