I thought I had blown a head gasket or cracked block because as I was pulling HUGE stumps around at my property the temp gauge when up real quick. After checking the coolant in the radiator I didn't see any. Then I pulled the dipstick for the oil and it was to the top with a little green on it. Well long story short, changed the head gasket and a few other things and the tractor has been running like a Bull. Didin't even retoque after the next 50 hours which would have been the 100 hr mark after the new head gasket. It runs stonger and looser now that its broke in. A lot of minor leaks here and there but I think most of it was over reacting.
I have a lot of pics on my website of what this Chinese tractor that cost the same of a decent Quad has done for me. Few streeful moments of lurking in the unknown but great support to pull you through and then you realize it really wasn't anything major...
Check out some of the work my little 2 cylinder 224 has done.
