I don't know where it is, but would it be possible to drill a hole through the side or bottom and then braze/weld it back up once you push that little dastardly thing out?

It may have been mentioned, but have you tried some jb weld on the end of a stick and stick it to it?

Or maybe some one you know has a stick welder and can get the electrode real close, turn the juice on and then melt the electrode to the end of the file. Then at least you would have a nice long handle to pull on. A little penetrating oil and a little tug and you just might be lucky enough to have it come out (but I have learned not to hold my breath - I would have been dead a long time ago).

Don't feel bad about getting a tractor that doesn't run. I picked up a JD BN that looked pretty sad, but at $450 it was priced nicely. After I got into it I realized why it was so cheap. The engine was shot, the head was shot, pistons and rings were shot, 4 gallons of water in the engine, and I forget what else. By the time I was all down I had plunked down a boat load of change (more than I thought I had) and then some. I added it all up and didn't realize I had ever had that much money just sitting around to be spent on stupid tractor parts. Finally tally the other day was nearly $6k (thank goodness I hadn't figured out anything else to buy in the last 6 years).

I was in your place 11 years ago. Got my first one and it was a learning curve that would have cleared the moon. I found there is nothing better than ask questions, even if they sound dumb since somebody else has either done the same thing you want to do, or gotten themselves into the same pickle you have. I find it is easier (and usually cheaper) to find out what doesn't work and then go from there. When you are finished you will be able to sit back and say that you screwed it up, broke it, disassembled it, cleaned it, painted it, prayed for it to run and finally finished it. Most kids your age (and mine when I started) don't have a clue how an engine even works, let alone have the guts to jump in the with both feet. Good luck.
