Well i have not used my ford 4000 much the last 6 weeks and we were doing some work to my barn and my new one was being built so my ford had to sit outside. went to start it the other day and it was dead so i jumped it from the truck and put it in my work shop. Then yesterday i happend to walk by it and pulled the dipstick and it was covered in what appeared to be Grey Paint. well i drained the oil and i drained 5 gallons of gray fluid. i dont think there is any doubt i got a crack in the block. I drained the anti freeze and there was maybe a couple quarts of clear fluid (water) I had it filled with the antifreeze and i dont remember adding water. but some how it got in there and must have froze and crack somthing some were. since then ive gotten the radiator off and the fan and all the panels, hoods and so on. ill pull the oil pan in the next day or two. and get to the head. but so far i don,t see a crack of any kind. just hope its fixable.
My ford is my primary tractor i use it for every thing from baling to digging post holes and all the basic utility work. been looking for a 80hp tractor to take over the bigger jobs but havent found one and now i got to spend my money rebuilding the motor on the ford, i also had a loader lined up but now its a no go. i hate days like this. what do all guestemate what it will cost to fix this.
