started Engine, there was a pop and water came out of the exhaust. Any ideas what the problem is. First post, please help. Thank you, Richard

You said "started". Did it run OK after it was running?

 

[Richard J]

no, it sounds like it was running on 1 or 2 cylinders

Was it parked outside and possibly got water into the engine through the exhaust? If so, maybe it hydrolocked when you started it, causing some bent push rods or valve stems.

Was it just water coming out the exhaust? Is it possible antifreeze was involved?

it doesn't sound good. Does it vibrate more than usual when running? Any smoke from the exhaust while it's running?

Started taking the tractor apart. There is water in the oil. And yes, there is a lot of smoke from the exhaust when its running

Now we're trying to get the gas tank out. Found two bolts and there are more somewhere? Thank you to all who answered so far.
