Yes,it all looks bad. The water actually pumps out of the exhaust port as the motor runs, so it is soooome leak. The gas is obviously doing the reverse. I have been told of a water seal at the bottom of the cylinder sleeve but I don't know anything for sure.
thanks
Peter

There are o-ring seals on the bottom of each sleeve. Apparently the seats for these seals have a habit of rotting away, which leads to lots of water in the crankcase. At least that is the case with the Super Major. Friend of mine talked to a few old diesel mechanics while rebuilding his FSM, and they recommended applying JB weld around the bottom of the sleeve once the o-rings were in place. I saw the work, and it looked good, but I had my doubts about the longevity of such a solution. Seemed like a bandaide fix to me. Anyway, he has been running that tractor hard now for many years without a problem. Shows you what I know!
