[AT] Some Tractor Help Required

[Cecil R Bearden]

You cannot beat Marvel Mystery OIL or Auto Transmission Fluid poured in 
the spark plug holes..  I would pour about a cup into each spark plug 
hole and turn the engine over, then put another cup in the cylinder and 
replace the plug.  Be sure to drain it out in the spring.  I would also 
check the oil level in the spring, because the thin oil will probably 
seep past  the rings and go into the oil.  Also If you can get some oil 
sprayed into the cam shaft area in the tip end, this would be great.  I 
had an old 2 cylinder that froze up in the upper end and the camshaft 
was what was holding  the engine frozen....

Basically, I think the float is stuff or has a problem and when I attempt to start it tons of gas fills the chambers to where gas comes out of the petcocks.  What I did was to shut off the gas and still turn over the engine to get as much of the gas out.  I also pulled the plugs while I did this and let the plugs out for several hours to let the gas evaporate.  I did put the plugs back in and covered the tractor back up, it stand outside.
