Perkins 6.354 with about 4800 hours. It sits far more than it's used. We replaced the seal about 60 working hours ago and put a speedysleeve on the crank due to some grooving, and it recently started leaking badly again. Pulled the engine today and found the seal lips melted with a layer stuck to the sleeve.
Just for curiousity I put a mag base indicator on the back of the block, lifted the crank with a pry bar and got .004 vertical movement. Seems excessive to me, yet the oil pressure is good.
Yes, the likely cure is a full rebuild, and that was already on the list as a winter project, but we'll need it in 20 days (or less), oil on the clutch was an issue, and the prospects of finding a good engine shop with quick turnaround isn't looking good. Toying with just buying another tractor, but can't afford new junk, or desire to go 800 miles to get someone else's problems.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
