As I posted a few days ago, my 1963 806 suddenly developed a noticeable engine knock while basically idling and doing nothing in particular.
The engine was at a fairly low RPM and when putting it into gear (but before letting the clutch out), a new knock sound started in the engine. Not a catastrophic sound, just a bit of a knock.
The problem is that I need to finish taking in my hay and I have another 20 acres to cut and bale with this tractor.
An IHC mechanic friend suggested (without hearing it first hand) that it might just need rod bearings, and that is a very easy job.
So- what to do- just go ahead and do my hay and deal with it afterwards? Or take the time now to pull the pan and at least inspect the rod bearings (look for wiggle I guess)? Or just assume that it is gonna need a full rebuild- there is a bit of blow-by coming out the bottom of the engine- not terrible, but some.
The engine has definitely seen a lot of use, but seemed pretty decent when I bought this a month or so ago.
