I started tearing it apart at 1:30 today, thought I better start with the simple things, so did a compression test and found the bad cylinder. 0 PSI, other 3 were 90 PSI. Removed the sheet metal on the left bank and the manifold/carb. Thought I better check the simple things first, so I pulled the tappet/valve adjuster cover and woo hooo! It was just a stuck exhaust valve!! Sprayed some pentrating oil around the stem and popped it free with a screwdriver, worked it a little bit, then turned it over with the starter to make sure it wasn't going to stick again and put it all back together. Drove it off the flatdeck trailer at 6pm and drove it around the yard....works great!! Hydraulics are tight and snappy, tranny sounds good. Now I need to go through the maintenance schedule and change fluids etc and then give it a good workout. I'll keep you posted. I sure got lucky with this one. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Cheers Paul</p></blockquote><p></p>
