Just wanted to get the tractor where I could move it to a diffenent location until I got my shop completed. The tractor has a loader and the bucket is on the ground. Moving it will be a chore without the engine running. GlenIdaho, you stated that you had a block repaired. I guess any machine shop can do this. About how much would I expect to pay for this repair and new sleeves? [Reply]   [No Email]

That price is seven years old though. I also replaced all the rod bolts at $8.00 each because I found a weak one while putting it together. Just to give you an idea of the increase in cost, I paid $460.96 for the overhaul kit, they list them on this site for $542. Hope this helps. [Reply]  [No Email]
