95512a1 pony no compression

Yes you can removed the 2 poney heads but you need to draining the coolan before and you could see by turning the poney flywell if the valve are working and these head gaskets are valaible but you could reused them if they are not brook

thanks gemdozer-- I have another question, would I be better off trying to pull the intake manifold? I already have the carb and magneto off , there is not much more to remove.

You better check the heads before and same time check the holes in head and block if the coolan circulalion is oké and if the valves are freese there you will have to pull the intake manifold for repair

I pulled the head on one side, found a stuck intake. I got the valve free with a little spray but the valve does not return on its own. there is most likely a bad spring or the keeper let go. Rather than climbing around in that hole, I think it would be easier to pull the motor out and bring it to the bench. Do you know if there is any special trick to pulling the motor or does or just unbolt and lift out? or would you suggest on pulling the intake first and go from there? The head gasket looks good and the bore looks clean, no holes in the block so I am sure it can be fixed. thanks again...Rick

I agree with Hector, with a track loader, you may have to do things differently than someone with a plain tractor.

If you can take off just the manifold, you probably will be ahead to do only that. Pulling a pony frequently is a challenge (getting to all the fasteners around the base) even when you have good access to it. Can't see how you would run one off the tractor without fabricating a block off plate. So, in my book, just easier to work on it fastened to the clutch housing unless you have to go deeper into it than the valves.

Agreeing with Hector and CC in that pulling the manifold is much easier than the entire engine. That said, if you do end up pulling the engine and want to run it off the tractor, it's easy enough to set it up. I have a test bed made out of little more than some 2x4s, a tin cap from Lowes cut in half and sealed (for the idler gear to run in oil) and a 2x4 mount for the fuel tank and a 5 gallon bucket for coolant. I have a youtube of it running http://youtu.be/4fkCQ-Lj9vM
