No, the tractor is here because it blew a head gasket and the owner replaced it and it hasn't ran right since. I took the valve cover off and the rocker arm rail isn't tight which makes the valves extremely loose, the valves have about a 1/4" of lash. We also went ahead and removed the head when we noticed the head bolts weren't tight, the head gasket wasn't stuck to the block but somehow it's stuck to the head so good I had to use a hammer and chisel to get it off. I asked the guy about the pink paint and the tractor technically belongs to his sister and she painted it pink so others on the farm wouldn't use it.
