If your block is cracked on a Deere engine it will leak to the out side if head is cracked or gasket pushed out of shape then it may be internal leak into engine oil the best thing to do is get a rad tester and pressure up to around 15 lbs that will find all leaks fast in engine and rad .My old Snap...

I hope that they didn't run it like that ! .That is the best way to ruin the sleeves that you can imagine .DO NOT pay full price to any one that did that to a John Deere engine I hope you are getting it cheap.That just eats the bottom of the sleeves out of them . the running engine heat and the stra...
