hey, nice web site you guys and gals have here, I have a 2210 like I see lots of folks do and it has been running fine for the last 8 years except that the rings are worn and I have to put in oil a little each time I use it.
any way, I was cutting the grass on Friday when the the tractor seemed a bit sluggish and would pop every so often. Radiator was running fine, not hot. but the Oil stick/filler was extremely hot! Could not touch it at all. Seems to be a bunch of air coming out of it when running and spitting oil out when I have the stick out. Talked to the guy at EFC and he said blown head gasket. Seems right to me. I just never had a gasket go with the exhaust side, usually i just get water and oil mixed. What do you guys thing and has this happed to you? I needed to do the rings anyway so this will be my first time with piston, sleeves and rings. Should be fun.
thanks again,
Erick
