    A previous Mechanic or even the factory cross threaded it. I do not know the reputation of your mechanic,their skill in dealing with this varies. Now you need to replace more parts or weld it and when it goes again, scrap it

    Duramax LML possible head gasket and piston issues

    Diesel will tow at low rpm until it blows. Modern diesels are mostly not reliable. Get a gasser. Let it spin. 4k will not hurt it a bit. It will tow, if you let it spin. $10-15k buys a LOT of gas.

    1949 Ford 8N Tractor Won't Start

    The starter will need a shunt field coil with 12 battery or expect starter drive troubles, as it hits too hard. And you need a new 12V coil and use a 12v chrysler ballast resistor. Keeping the generator and going to 8V is much easier assuming the generator is good.
