I have a Bolens tractor with a Kohler M20QS (20 horse) engine. The problem is that the engine has low compression and is low on power. It will also use oil when under a heavy load. I have a 48" deck and it will stall the engine if I mow through grass that is too high.
I took it to a local dealer and they did their leakdown tests and some other tests that I can't remember and they said the only thing they could find is the tractor is low on compression and has a clicking sound that comes and goes. They don't know why the compression is low.
They say the next step is to tear it apart and check it out which will cost at least $1000.
I was wondering if anyone had a second or third opinion before I do anything stupid.
Thanks,
Jim
