Here is one possible result of one being stuck and then unstuck. This engine was running and the tractor was working, but it was "huffing" out the crankcase breather,....... NO chance you might pour oil into it while it was running.......... and then it suddenly got a lot worse. This was what we found when we tore it down. Each cylinder had a mark where the rings had been stuck at one time.
Hello everyone
After a few years we went back to work on the tractor
The engine was the whole time with rust oil
Every few months trying to rotate the motor
Yesterday I opened the engine-side service doors
And that's what I found

Keep working on it Itzik! You'll get there : ) Even if the rings don't work out (and they probably won't) if you actually get it to run, no matter how badly, that will encourage you to keep going. I reckon the worse it is, the bigger the challenge, the more fun. My D2 looked like that inside
So today I decided no choice
We removed the rear cylinder head
And that's what we found
I hope that now it will be possible to rotate the motor
And the piston sleeve along with the piston may be removed

OUCH! At least now you know what you are dealing with. Keep up the good work and keep us posted. The tougher the job the more satisfying the sweet sound when it finally runs will be.
Continue following the rust
No. 3 piston also is full of water![]()
Continue slowly
No. 3 cylinder was pulled
A little patience and No. 6 pops up
