Mx5100 inheld water

[art]

For all the older tractors with the fancy weather caps on the exhaust and for those that didn't think they had a need for them that got water logged from a good rain or several rains we learned that many things don't hold up to water.
We have had several that did not show the real problem till the tractor was put under heavy load and the tractor could not perform the way that it should. The problem was bent connecting rods. With a little talent we found they could make interesting lamps for in the house or man cave. I hope this is not your case.

Yes, rods can definitely be bent and not show right off the bat. That would be my concern as if they are bent now, and break later and put a hole in your block its going to get costly quickly. Im not trying to scare you but anything is a possibility. We've had cars inhale coolant, run for 1000 miles and then throw a rod. Seen this countless time. Even made a sheet for "don't hold me liable" after we repair the car and tell them its a possibility.
