I am afraid I may have found our can of worms. After buying a taporlock today and then deciding that besides the cracked and warped old flywheel being replaced we better take a peak inside. Well apon disassembly found that the rubber air intake hose has two large rotted holes in it. Removed the intake pipe and quite a bit of caked on dirt and crud. The engine was running well, and has great power. We had planned on going deep enough to inspect the lower end, mains and rods. How do I insure the dirt ingestion didn't do VAST damage. I know, I think it did do a great deal of damage. Can I take a cold compression check of cylinders to see. Please let me know what you guys would do if you were me. Thanks Joe Hartman

Every 2cyl. diesel I have ever been around is a "can of worms" you need to be committed to do it right costs be damned or best not even start and sell it off and go buy a 4020 or something like that which is made componantized where one assembly is not so intertwined into the others. Doing one half a$$ed is not going to work out. That's what happened years ago and now WE are faced fixing completely worn out tractors with very expensive and ever becoming non-existant parts.

We do intend on doing all that is needed. I just hadn't planned on it!! Went from just taking a peak at the rods and mains just to be sure. Now having to go all the way down just to insure not having a major failure in the future. Was going to tear into it today more, but alas garage door blew open in the sub-zero temps and froze all the water lines. Change of plan #3 for the weekend. Joe

If I was to of planned all my restorations before hand likely I'd of never done any of them. LOL ! Get all the books JD parts and service and I&T if you don't allready have them. Take your time and don't get in a hurry with a timetable like an upcoming show or fair there will always be next year. Since these are so intertwined when you have the engine all apart do the transmission too as you are right there with all the covers off. Yes it is more money and time,but you won't regret it later on. One of these diesels done right will run completely different ( BETTER ) than the average one you thought ran good. They will also tend to make more noise,but less at the crank area and more in the combustion area. You can even hear it out the stack,just a stronger sound because it is stronger.
