My money is on a head gasket and a warped head, but I'd like to see a teardown video if you're up for it. Also, PLEASE do yourself a favor and get a winch on that trailer so you don't hurt yourself or someone else. That loading method was one mistake away from some serious consequences.
FYI, when you're trying to turn over an engine for the first time, always take out a spark plug/glow plug to let out any fluid trapped in the cylinders before you crank it and possibly bend/break something.

@thomasr.miller5553 I agree. He's what? 22 maybe if that? This generation already knows it all. They don't need advice from folks who have been doing similar things for decades.
@3sparewashers-lg3gf but they have to be willing to listen. This guy will most likely succeed but will end up paying a lot in "stupid taxes". I've paid a lot. He'll pay more. Good luck to the kid.
Put a 4 cylinder in it off a reefer trailer have a v2203 and makes 40 hp with a turbo makes 75 hp be cool and should fit if not then rebuild the 3 cylinder they are good little engines they run forever.
Stop never try to start it with out checking fluids and then try baring it over,if it is locked pull the valve vover and remove the rack and inspect things.
The way you did it was so completely wrong, I'm surprised con rods didn't come out t he side of that engine. Pull injectors, Marvel Muystry oil or ATF and brake fluid for a week. DON'T touch for a week! It will loosen the piston from the rings and the rings from the cylinder walls. The excessive blowby, could still be the rings. Definitely a head gasket for sure. Could be just the head gasket judging from the amount of smoke coming out of the upper radiator hose. Pull the head off. Do it slow and methodically. A head gasket for those little Kubota engines is cheap. I think it's still saveable. With a little patience and work.
His way of starting it may have caused the blowby. LONG pipe wrench is not the way to do it. He may have broken some rings and now it has blowby. He says it was abused and he is right. He abused it in addition to anything the previous owner did.
I dealt with a little kubota in a baby little thomas skid steer that the last owner blew a water pump belt and ran it until it locked up. I pulled the head found a good amount of visible cracks in the head i bought a china reproduction head and it was back to running good but did burn a tiny bit of oil. I'd yank the head see if the gasket is gone or the head is cracked then pull the oil pan pop the pistons out hone the cylinders with a ball hone slap new rings on it and I'll bet it will be a solid runner. I can't imagine the block being cracked typically they will push a freeze plug out or crack the exterior of the block before anything internal. The cylinders might be pitted up a bit though
I run one of these in France, but 4x4 and manual. Built out of 3 scrappers and a 6000 head on a 7100. Might be just the head gasket, these engines do funny things but are pretty bullet proof. As long as the water pump, radiator and cooling system are all good, you might be able to use Red Hylomar to reuse the head gasket. Mine has run no problems for over 7 years doing that. These engines are quite easy to work on. Strip it and have a look, you might be lucky and end up with a good little machine.
Wow. Dishonest sellers suck. If I might make a suggestion, it may be worth inspecting the condition of the head and block, see if it’s just a blown head gasket. It’s just a suspicion, but based on how low the coolant is and the fact that there’s no coolant in the engine oil makes me wonder if maybe this thing was just overheated and run dry, hence the swamp water, PO couldn’t give enough of a care to add actual coolant. I mean hey, worst case you’re just confirming the engine is in fact bad. Sucks that little tractor was so abused. They’re really reliable when given a reasonable amount of maintenance.
@@BradenBuildz Even before tearing it down, a potential test could be to fill the cooling system with regular water and let it come to temperature, see if there are any leaks. A hunch tells me this thing was leaking coolant quite profusely, hence the extremely low level. If it was leaking into the crankcase from say a blown head gasket or cracked passage there would be more coolant than that and plenty of coolant in the oil. Oil looks reasonably clean so no water probably, but cracking the drain plug isnt a bad idea. Just let a little leak out and put it back.
Probably cracked some rings when cranking on it to free it up. My guess the block cracked from the lack of antifreeze. You got yourself a parts tractor!
I just rebuilt a 3 cylinder Kubota engine pretty cheap for about $400. It was pretty simple, that would be my route if I were you. Mine had cracked pistons where the piston rings are.
I wish we lived closer man it would be fun to tinker around and help you on stuff btw those hydrostats are a lot better than having a clutch, I bet u could swap the rear hydro to your other tractor. Those engines are really easy to rebuild but I do hope u make a vid tearing into it
First. You should have gotten some oil in the cylinders and let soak for a couple days before trying to break the engine free. You very well could have broke a ring. Second use a little startup fluid and save that starter!!
pull the engine down just to see why it seized up. those are good little tractors and make great content. if nothing else re-power it and sell it off. Might only make a buck or two on doing that but it's better that scraping it. Good luck and great video.
mechanic 43 years. ready to retire and working on these is what i will be doing and wood working!!! probably was rebuildable until you ran it that long?
Yea id say that engine is shot now that you got hold of it. That engine was fixable until you went on and did her in. Its possible the rings are stuck that is y so much blow by!!
@@derlukec.8533 The mid PTO option is not 4wd interchangable. PTO spins at a constant speed, transaxle varies its speed by gear. Good thought, but not really practical.

Nah. Youll know when something over heats. Either shut off and lock up or start knocking real bad and running slower bc the clearances are getting tighter.

Of course we wanna know whether it was the head or block that cracked 👍
cracked between valves im sure.
i would make sure no water is in the oil before cranking it.........
Way to go on holding your ground when ole boy wanted to up the price on you. What a Piece. ( him and the tractor)
Please take it apart and show us what was wrong. Im sure you can find a cheap enough engine to swap into it also. Or maybe a backyard rebuild
If you can get an engine for $400, I would definitely change the engine
Now you need Kubota attachments. Seriously, rebuild that little engine.

These old tractors usually you have to keep the glow plugs on for quite a while in between trying to start it do not kill that starter
an old trick is a heat gun to supplement hot air in the intake. also you have a bad valve- puffs of black smoke out the intake
Thanks
If you scrap the motor keep the starter. It’s a champ. Head gasket is blown. Replace and deck the head. It’s a tractor not a race car.
Bet you could fly a dozen eggs on the starter or cables😂😂😂
You and the lil tractors brah
Probably cracked some rings when cranking on it to free it up. My guess the block cracked from the lack of antifreeze. You got yourself a parts tractor!
Full Rebuild!!
When you get that thing running you should drag it
Would have been interesting to see you strip it down in the same video, to make it longer.

A friend of mine has one of these engines in his boat, they are a stout engine, stout enough to push his trimaran along at a good clip.
YEA! open it up to see what did the damage..

You should try to get the backhoe attachment for that one. After you get the rebuilt engine in it.

starting fuel
There is no water pump on a B model ...
$400 for a parts machine is a steal.
Do a teardown and see what was damaged. Its shot anyway, at least confirm your suspicions. Thanks.
I put that little tractor in a drunk yard oh ok.
Cool video. I say Tear into her like to see the exact problem is. May be do a jb weld repair see if it runs again video.
And daddy's money spoke again.
Yep all $400 of daddy’s big money
say goodbye to that starter!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dang it that sucks
You’ll probably get the 400 for the starter, some starter with the amount of time you spent swinging off it.
Definitely want to see a tear down video. I would give you your $400 back for that tractor.
Your loading abilities could use some help!

Your "starts" are wayyyy too long, you will damage starter!!!! Why dont you use eather???????
Has glow plugs won’t start with out them. Ether wrecks Diesel engines.
Some folks are afraid of using ether. But WD40 works almost as well and much safer.
Well you certainly burned it up by running It Wide Open without any coolant!
thats what i was thinking
@@beesbo1856 wd-40 doesn’t work at all
Steam coming out of the hose from the remaining water boiling
Rebuild it or change out the motor if you can get one cheap
Fix it
I wouldnt complain much for 400 dollars, Here in Finland it would be 2000Euros for that
Plus the rebuild kits for these engines are not that bad either, I would rebuild it
Swap your engine and loader onto that frame. The HST is way more convenient with the loader than gear driven to operate
Yeah but only 2wd
@@BradenBuildz canˋt that be swapped also?

Nice
over-filled oil would explain it being blown out of the breather
Nope
Yes, it is shot!! If not for the blow-by, I would say gamble on head gasket. But with compression in cooling system and crank case…. Trash!!
Imagine how many people that guy has cheated over the years!
Hey ill buy the hood from you!
FYI poor gas and oil down the spark plug intake
Diesels don’t have spark plugs
Air cooled !! Way to long running it with no water😊
Tear it down let's find out what happened.
You should have sold it for the $500!
I think you’re confused. He wanted $100 more than what we originally agreed to.
If you were closer I'd give you your money back for it.
first use starter fuild then turn the fucken thing of when you havent connected it to water
You might pull the head off and check and see if it has a blown head gasket. If you're lucky that might be all it needs. 🤞
Yeah possibly. We might have to tear it apart and look.
Put another engine in it
Well if it wasn’t over heated before it is now
Nah. Youll know when something over heats. Either shut off and lock up or start knocking real bad and running slower bc the clearances are getting tighter.

It might have been okay until you ran at Full Throttle for several minutes without any coolant. It takes all kinds I guess.
‘Might have been okay’ after having to crank on it for an hour at full throttle with hot glow plugs. Takes all kinds I guess.
