Got an interesting story here, I bought a l355ss with a loader for 1400$ looked complete and good rubber story was it sat in a field for 14 years came with property. Get it home try to crank it, turns out the flywheel clutch and pressure plate are all missing, after an Easter egg hunt I find all the parts I need and got the tractor running, felt that it was running on 3cyl but was thinking it was injection pump. Also head gasket was leaking so I popped off the head to put a gasket and there is a piston and connecting rod missing!! The crank and cylinders look and feel in great shape, no clue why these parts were missing and the entire tractor put back together!
Any way I’m trying to find a piston and con rod used, also having issues trying to drop oil pan I have all bolts out to roll front end away but it’s not budging
