Is there anyone out there in the know of about how much it will cost me to have my engine block repaired? I have cracks between all four cylinders on top and bottom, it is a continental Z129. Hope it dosen't exceed the value of the tractor (I have $1500 in it to date). Other than that, the block is in pretty good shape. The tractor ran fine before I tore it apart. I just saw the cooling fluid in the oil when I changed it. My fears of a cracked block was realized in spades when I saw it was cracked between every cylinder top and bottom. I have the rebuild kit for the whole engine included in the total amount of what I have invested, so I feel I need to go foward with this and make it a great tractor.

Paul,

I have a block for a TO 30 complete with new 3-3/8 sleeves and pistons. If you are interested, email me direct. For that matter, I also have a brand new crankshaft with bearings and a cylinder head with new valves also available. I am sure we can come up with a fair price that would be mutually attractive!

Dennis

Dennis, I don't know if Paul bought your engine block or not, but if he didn't, my stepdad needs one. He recently bought a Harry Ferguson tractor and it has 3 cracks in the block. The cracks are between sleeves. He is great at mechanics (in his late 70's but stays busy) but he thinks he needs to replace the block. Would appreciate any help. We live in Missouri. Please respond either way if you can. Sincerely, Elizabeth Riney

Elizabeth,

Paul never responded to my note. I still have the block and other parts. Cracks between the sleeves are quite common on those tractors. I live in Wisconsin but I am heading to Kansas City on Wed morning. I don't think I can haul the block with me but email me direct at resden@tcei.com and we can pursue this further.

Dennis

I have a similar situation. Tractor run fine, but was getting water in oil. Tore it down and it (block) was cracked top and bottom, through center main journal. Searched around to find another block or have mine repaired (pinned) and found a place that welds them (they have been repairing them for many years) in South east Missouri. They do an excellant job on them and I highly recomend them. There is a place in South Central Tennesse that sells these repaired blocks (from Mo.) It is called TIPS Which ever is closer to you. Hope this helps GOOD LUCK Oh almost forgot the company is Barnett Head & Block 573-333-5211 Caruthersville Missouri

I had a Z129 block pinned a couple of years ago. It was about $200. I was having the engine overhauled at the time and when they discovered the cracks they sent it out to be pinned and that was the additional charge. There are four pins in my block. It has worked fine. The pins this fellow used are stainless steel threaded rods. They traverse coolant area, not lubricated area. It sounds like your cracks may be worse than mine. Not every block is repairable. HTH.
