Well, I wish I had some good news, but unfortunately no boys showed up this weekend so on to Plan B. In the morning the old man will get on with making arrangements for a diesel compression test, hopefully tomorrow evening.
Yes, I have heard of splashing a bit of 2 stroke oil in as a lubricant, I've never done it tho. I've been using ATF as long as I've had the tractor as that is what we always used in the trucks I drove, 1 liter in a 50 gallon tank especially in winter. Mind I've only put about 600-700 of those 4000 hours on it but it has the look of a tractor that had a hard life. When I changed the pump you could see where the block had been welded at some time in the past. Quite a long crack too, 6 or 8 inches. Whover did the job knew what he was doing, neat tidy seam and no leaks. It does blow oil top and bottom as well, has pretty much since I got it but it has been getting steadily worse.
