I have a chance to get an 856 with a Dual loader for $4000. The guy said a rod bearing went and either twisted or bent the crank ( I can't remember his exact wording on that). The tractor is split so I cannot check anything, although he says everything such as the T/A, lift and PTO all work. The tach shows just over 3000 hours and he says he is sure this is correct. Sheet metal looks good and straight. Rear tires close to new, needs new fronts. I did not see any oil seepage around the rear end or the PTO's. He said the engine developed a knock. The crank and pistons are out of the engine and he has a new crankshaft and one new rod, gasket set and I think he said new bearings. The rest of the engine is together. I really do not have the time and the money right now to tear the complete engine apart and go through everything. With damage to the crankshaft do you guys think the block survived that alright? The loader frame seemed in excellent shape but needs new hoses, bucket is in average condition. Should I take a chance on this or run the other way?
