I bought a short block from Country Sales and Service out of Orville Ohio. The motor lasted less than 30 hrs and spun the center bearing on the counter balance shaft. I tore the engine down to the point of removing the defective shaft and had a local John Deere service department verify the shaft. They had checked the shaft and stated it was bent beyond their tolerance for re-use. The service technician even came to the house to look at the engine a little closer and said the bearings showed all the signs of a bent counter balance shaft which it what caused the center bearing to spin out of the block. Anyone who has ever dealt with building engines know that when a bearing spins it will create debris in the oil. With this being said, Country Sales and Service Rep wanted me to send them the defective parts so they could send them to there warranty company Maxiforce out of Miami Fla. In Maxiforces review and statement concerning the defective parts, Maxiforce even stated the shaft was bent, but it would be up to them and Country Sales and Service for the replacment of the parts. Well guess what, they have said they won't cover any of the damage because there was debris in the oil. (Well no kidding)Spun Bearing guys!! The main bearings and rod bearings are inpregenated with debris, but was caught soon enough not to cause damage to the crank. Country Sales said they no longer put re-conditioned shafts in there engines because of situations like this. They supposedly stand behind their Quality Work and Parts ~Bull~~~T! If any one else is looking to purchase anything from these Jokers ~ You may want to think again. I could go on the tell more crap they did from the beginning but I think I got the message across. Sorry to everyone, just had to vent!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. 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.
