Dan 2N John 2010-05-18 22:36:54 Take the flat head off see if the pistons are in fact moveing its difficult to tell with a screw drive as the plug hole is offset a tad from the cylinder it self  if the are moving try putting automatic trans fluid in there to free up carbon deposits on the rings let soak a day or 2 if you do this Bart Gabriel 2010-05-17 19:00:54 Could be all 4 piston arms are broken but you would hear it rattle around real bad. I would first think the piston rings were all frozen tight to the piston but you said no movement from the pistons. Drain the oil into a clean oil pan and see what comes out? I would try squirting PB Blast in all of the cylinders it may be frozen rings except you said no piston movement. Patrick Hauke 2010-04-13 22:29:05 I know I must be overlooking something. After several 8Ns, a 9N, a couple of NAAs and an 860 and a 960, I haven"t seen this yet... I picked up a parts tractor (8N) and decided to check the engine. The starter turns the engine just fine... fan blade, generator and all. Not a single cylinder has compression.... zero, zip. Not a single cylinder travels to the top when I held a screw driver in the spark plug holes.... no movement. Is it really that bad? What could this be? Thanks In Advance!
