Thanks

The E1ADN which you have and the E1ADKN which is the petrol kerosene version were quickly supplanted by the E1ADDN which was the diesel version and only about 25,000 of the spark ignition tractors were made.

Parts for the tractor engine may be a bit difficult as it has different engine liners and of course a different head but most of the rest of the parts are common to the diesel tractors and are still available.

I'm suprised that the diesel and gas engines are so similar. By engine liners you mean those that line the cylinders? The gas engine has liners too?

I'll do a compression test an if it looks good, I'll order some bearigs. She has pretty bad knock, I hope it didn't damage the crankshaft. Anyone ever put bearings in one of these just by removing the oilpan?

As much as I like her, I'm afraid of attempting a complete rebuild of that old girl.

Just put new tires on her too.....

You can replace the bearings through the sump BUT have you found what caused them to fail? This could be worn crank, no oil pressure etc. I would not be too worried about an overhaul thay are a very simple engine and, if you have a Fordson workshop manual it can be done quite easily.

So, I'm hoping there wasn't too much other damage.....
