Parked the Best 60 in back of the shop 6 years ago. Next time I tried to bar it over engine was stuck with no movement. been thinking about pulling the heads off. Finally yesterday my helpers are now big enough to work on the 60! Found number 1 Piston stuck have it soaking. Might need to pull off the jug and press it free.
How do you think it got stuck after running, leaky head gasket?
No leaks. This engine always had a hard spot in it to bar over. Now I know where the problem is. getting the heads done too.
Couple of handy looking assistants you have there Skinner . Good to see they share the Passion .
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
