OMG you guys are too much.
Right you are about the rains here though.
I did take the Kama out to where we are prepping an area for a small pond. It was very muddy and for some queer reason I really didn't want to get it super dirty?:confused::confused: lol...
Then I dug out around some culverts and trenches to channel the run off. I'll be getting some photos maybe today because I see sunshine for the first time in over a week!

... because truthfully, I was sweating bullets over this whole ordeal and I prayed it would come out good. Never having done this, it wasn't exactly encouraging to me.

I was soooo close to saying "screw it, I'm selling it".

I know exactly how you felt. It's a terrible feeling, and the worse part about it is just how overwhelming it can be. I spent months and months pretending that my engine problems were everything else but the engine. In the end, it was a choice of fixing it and having something of value when it was done, or giving it away and having nothing. I really wanted to give it away, but couldn't bring myself to that and then have to buy another that might have the same thing happen to it.

I'm both impressed with your accomplishment, and proud to have met you and to be able to call you a friend. One of the most amazing thing about TBN and our online world is being able to meet people like you and Loretta.

Thank you for sharing this thread with us. Sometimes it's hard to do, but the rewards you receive from both encouragement and advice is truly priceless.

Congratulations.
Eddie

Very well done Rob. That, coming from one that did that kind of work on a daily basis for many years. Your documentation is now legendary.

So how would find Mr. Chip for parts for my Kama 454.
Oil was a little low and left it running parked on a hill. tipped to the right side. No oil = tight as a drum now.

I'm thinking 3 water sleves, 3 pistons+rings, Head gasket and so on.

Chip hasn't moved, check the dealer list: Dealer Search Results - TractorByNet.com!

But my KM454 works hard on 30 acres of diagonal, and has for over 6 years now. Idling/working/anything that tractor does is usually on an angle. So I suspect there's more to the story than you're lettin' on.

Might be advisable to start your own thread.
