I would think the block would be okay as long as it didn't throw a rod. If you have neither the time, expertise, or the money to hire someone to go thru that engine, I would pass on it. The D407 is not an engine for the noivice to tackle. Everything needs to be exactly in spec and done right. Also, I wouldn't risk putting a 407 back together half assed because if you do and it shucks another rod and ruins the block you are screwed. D407 blocks are next to impossible to find. I would question why the guy didn't fix it himself and then sell it if he has is torn apart and has the parts. I would guess that he found out he was in over his head and what it would cost and decided to abandon ship. Also even though he claims TA and clutch are good now is the time to take a good look at them. That could mean more dollars. In my opinion to get that tractor back in good running condition you could be looking at a lot of dollars. The Tractor Vet would be a good one to weigh in on this. He can give you some of the ins and outs of the D407.
