I"ve got a 1949 Farmall M that needs some major engine work, knocking noise...sounds like a WWII tank moving across an open field..."clank-clank-clank". I"ve also been told it would run a professional mechanic around 3000.00 to fix. I have another Farmall M 1947 that runs fine but am thinking about parting it out. First question, could a person swap out the engines between the two and have no problems? Is the engine swapping a difficult endeavor that would require a mechanic or is it a matter of watching the sequence of removing bolts and hoses and being able to reverse the process back? The "clanking" noise is the result of LOW-LOW oil for some time and tractor use. Could the crank shaft be warped? Rods or rod bent? Piston warp? The mechanic talked about a highly probable end result of throwing a rod(s). Or is it a matter of getting an OVERHAUL kit for the M engine....and the knocking is gone? How would someone check...properly diagnose this engine problem? Hope someone out there has the answers. Thanks
