My buddy Brad has that same model tractor. It still starts right up. 12 inch rims on the back right?
that would be a good tractor to put one of these horizontal shaft oppy's I have into

I cleaned the inside of the motor out put it back together and cranked it over. But it has no spark i think the coils bad. and i had to do some redneck things to get the motor to run. The head bolts snapped and was loosing compression where the bolts were so i put some weld in it to seal it up and the spark plug hole threads were stripped so i put a spark plug in it and welded it in. I know it dangerous but its only to see if it fires and if it does ill put the money out for parts. It all worked but it has no spark so i need to get a coil or condenser.

You should of took the head off, extracted the bolt, installed a new bolt. Welding in the spark plug is stupidity, what if its your plug is bad? 2, you definately torqued the plug too much. You could of killed the plug just by welding next to it.

OK guys, lets try for helpful.

Craftsman, the head needs to be removable.... welding the hole shut probably permanently attached the head. best hope now is to grind the welded spot down till it comes off... The head is ruined in any case... the plug issue alone cinched that. If you can get it loose, toss the head, it's gone. if some of the shank is visible above the block surface, weld a nut to it and back it out. If it's broken off flush, take it to a machine shop.

We all do dumb things out of desperation, but the welder should stay away from the motor little brother.

Nope wrong The head is bad and 2 head bolts snapped And it was losing compression through the holes so i put weld in them and the spark plug holes were stripped so i welded a spark plug into the hole. Because i didn't want to put out money if it didn't run so its for testing purposes. And i didnt weld the head on and i didnt ruin the engine Just the head but it needs a new one anyway.
