Ch670-011/gt2544
hello everyone I'm please to have found this forms.
Recently i was ecstatic to purchase my first garden tractor to mow and do work around my also recently purchased home. i got on the old marketplace and found a sweet gt2544 W/agg tires and brought her home. in all my excitement and also maybe the poring down rain i forgot to check a few pretty important thing like blow by.
the engine code is ch670-011 and has what i thought was pretty excessive crank case pressure. after some more googling and a few phone calls(local small engine repair guys and my local CC dealer) everything point to an internally blown head gasket. so i bought the parts googled even more and changed them. its not my first head gasket job. figured if i can do a Subaru head gasket i can do this.
i got it all back together and it runs perfectly but still has what i would call excessive crank case pressure. how much is to much? at low idle it can keep the dipstick in the air! and is pushing oil out out of the crank seal on the PTO side "front" and running down the case. its manageable and nothing a rag wont clean up after I'm done with it but if its broken it needs to be fixed!
Am i missing something? can someone please point me in the right direction. everything ive read says its a head gasket which these engines are knows for blowing. my next guess is rings or maybe a valve seal. any help or informant would be greatly apricated! ive been reading a lot of posts on here and you guys really know your stuff
also im interested in a 3 point hitch or something alot stronger then the rear tow hitch. i kinda ripped it off today pulling a stump using the tractors momentum to brake it lose. it worked 4 times before and figured it was strong enough but sadly i was mistaken. after cutting around the stump with a saw saw id give them a tug one way then the other and they would come right out...
