So my JD 3010 gas tractor has been acting up, It was running terribly rough and bogging down sounded almost like it was miss firing.
Pulled it in the shed to work on it, Here is a list of symptoms.
All the plugs were covered in oil heavily.
Excessive oil under pooled the valve cover.
Changed the oil and thought I would drop the pan to check under there. Oil pan and a few other parts under there have bright yellow rust.
Oil pump O-ring is also broken, But I think That is fairly minor.
Daddy thinks It might need a new head gasket because of water in the pan.
I just don't know what to do next, It has been running fine, Was running perfect the day before all this started. Used it about 4 hours straight. Parked it and then this started the next morning.
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
Also is the oil pump screen suppose to just be a piece of hardware cloth??
