I was always led to believe that dropped valves were due to drivers letting them run over downhill, so there driver error not manufacturing errorOh the old dropped valve chestnut........ well it may be an issue in his little world but not in mine. I've owned power star engines tractors for 17 years and not had the need to see inside one yet. Had to rebuild the engine on the '16' we had though. After the head gasket suffered from a nasty bout of Johndeereitus!
Just an unnecessary cost that comes with running old tractors like that I suppose. I'm just glad we've seen the light and moved on to more reliable, more modern and cheaper to run tractors.
