I just picked up a OC-3. It is in decent condition, but it is a smoker! It uses a quart of oil pretty quickly (1-2hrs) and isn t leaking it.
This is my first time getting into fixing tractors, but have done a lot of motor work, mostly motorcycles.
My question is, where would an experienced person start? I figured it is either needs new rings or valve work. It seems to run pretty well, starts right up, but smokes after using a couple hours I lost a cylinder, likely to a fouled plug (but have yet to check)
Would worn valve guides cause the smoke? I cant seem to find any valve seals like I do in a bike.
