I figured that was the response I would get from most of you. I guess a major is definately the right thing to do. I did mic the rod journals and they come out just within standard tolerances. None of the crank journals have any grooves or streaking. This tractor mainly pulls a four row planter, a grinder/mixer, and square baler--no hard work. It will probably not get but 2,000 more hours put on it in the next 10 or 15 years. I am definately going to have the head checked out and valves ground or replaced. But this tractor ran so smooth, was strong, and never smoked a bit. It would start easily down to about 40 degrees. The bottom shells of the main bearings are a little worn looking. I would much prefer to replace sleeves, pistons, and bearings. I don't have an engine stand or rear main seal installer tools, etc. If not for the coolant in oil, I would never have laid a hand on this sweet running engine. It would start easily down to about 40 degrees. By the way, the oil pressure ran at about 20-25 lbs when hot (Not sure how bad that is). Do you guys think that for a low use tractor the in-frame O.H. might be ok?
