I have a 1976 Ford 515 with a 3 cyl. diesel, I have had a tractor shop look at it and they say it needs a rebuild. Is there a source for used or rebuilt replacement engins. It starts on 1 or 2 cyl then the 3rd kicks in. There is a lot of blow by and white smoke, but it still runs. Can anyone help????

I don't know what you think of Farmtrac, but they now own the tooling for this engine and on their parts and service page suggest that owners consider a complete, new engine as an upgrade. This from their site (I'm in no way connected to them):

"Farmtrac now offers replacement engines for most of the Ford 3000 and 4000 Series tractors originally equipped with 175, 192, or 201 cubic inch engines. If you own an older Ford tractor that is in need of a complete engine overhaul, contact your local Farmtrac dealer to learn more about our new, emission-compliant replacement engines.

"For just a little more than the cost of an overhaul on your current engine, and for much less than replacing with an engine purchased from New Holland, the Farmtrac Engine Kit features the SAME reliable engine that comes on new Farmtrac tractors today and that had been factory installed in the past on new Ford tractors. Engine kit includes new fuel injection equipment, water pump, fan belt pulley, starter and alternator."

Just rebuilt a 201 3 cylinder diesel. The machine shop bored the block, installed sleeves, bored the sleeves and ground the crank. $600 The suggested the sleeves since fords are know for holes from the water jacket leaking into the cylinders. Then the engine kit is not cheap. So a do it yourself rebuild is around a grand. It was worth every penny when she fired up. There is a source that sells them rebuilt for about 2 g's plus shipping and that is without the head.
