    How much of a blow?

    Cause would be worn piston rings assuming the head gasket is ok.

    Sounds like oil getting up around the pistons. Worn liners or rings

    My 135 had this problem last year - as Reggie said there, it was rings needed replacing...
    Can't remember the exact cost but was around 800 euro mark I think...

    Well since the engine is open its better to get a lot of other things done as well. Gasket and that

    I think that was replaced, and maybe the head skimmed (does this sound right?)

    The amount of these 'small tractors' on done deal blowing oil is unreal.....and rather than tell you they'd let you travel the length of the country to view and then you get the 'first I knew of it' ...


    Done deal is a meca for con artists ....buyer beware.

    This is the trouble with donedeal. You spot a tractor 60 miles away. Only mechanics you know to check it out are local, so what do you do?

    If its one of these simple tractors get a mechanic to show you how to check for the main wear and tare items around an actual tractor.....pay him for his time let him know when you are going to see something and to expect a phone call?..... a lot of it is just visual checks.


    start it, drive it, check brakes (before ya need them), check for steering wear, tyres, lift something with lift, bring it to operating temp, check for any leaks......does it look minded or abused? oh ya check for oil blow & bubbles or boiling......but expect to have some wear repairs on a 30 year old tractor

    More like 40 year old! Ours has the straight axle and manufactured '73 registered '74. They really were and still are great little 'red giants'!
