Hi
Today I was doing some maintenance on my tractor. I bought it from a auction and it had been putting out a lot of smoke from the exhaust. Luckily my neighbour knows engines and the like and he popped over to guide me. It looks like the engine had too much oil in it. Way too much, so we drained it and refilled it with new stuff and that really helped.
Annoyingly we could hear a noise from the engine. We took off the cylinder head and found one of the pusher rods was bent and no longer connected. Luckily I think it had just happened so there was no other obvious damage.
What could have caused it to bend?
Could there be other damage that we don't know about?
How easy is it to get a replacement? do I need to go to a dealer or is there an internet site...my tractor is a Mitsubishi fd2050.

oops, sorry this is in the wrong thread...can someone move it to repairs?
