  Just picked up a 2000 6x4 with motor issues

Oil is milky white. So that means coolant in the oil. Deere dealer did a compression test and no compression in 1 cylinder. I was going to tear down the motor but what are your thoughts on whats wrong? What should I check 1st?

I licked it up at a john Deere dealer. The Guy I bought it from gave up on it after $1100. The dealer pulled the heads and had them pressure tested and cleaned. They checked out fine. He got the motor back and upon startup it had no compression or so he claims. I was thinking rings but could they have put the head on wrong? The weird thing is it started instantly with no noise. Just pissing out white oil out the vent tube.

Now I am just confused! I drained the coolant from the system and am in the process of flushing the coolant out of the oil. 4 oil changes later it is looking better. The weird thing is I just did a compression test and get about 170 on each cylinder. So I guess my main issue is coolant in the oil. Should I order a new water pump?

Just found the manual too.
I pulled the waterpump and it looks to be bad. The impellor has play which should mean that. Plus the gasket had a rip in it. I really don't want to replace the crankcase gasket as it looks like a bitch!! How do you pull the clutch anyways?

Sorry I didn't mean to offend. I will be better in the future. I can't edit it from my phone.

I picked it up at weingartz my local JD dealer. I just bought it new. I wanna say $66 plus another $10 for gaskets. I would have it back in and tested but I decided to paint treat and paint the rust spots and that is taking a moment. Should be in by tommorow night for testing. If it doesnt work out I will pick up the crankcase and head gaskets and do those too. Easy motor to work on so far Smile

Oh I forgot to mention. Go to Johndeere.com website and order it from there to be picked up at the dealer. The parts where 10 to 20% cheaper that way. Kinda strange but that is the case.
