I'm replacing one rod in my 2610 diesel because it got bent when it hydro locked after going into a pond. Some may remember last weeks post in tractor talk about that.
I bought a new rod and piston from All States Ag Parts and it doesn't even fit down the bore. The bore is 4-1/8 and the rod measures 4-1/4 at the widest spot with the cap removed.
It looks like I need to get an oem rod at 3 times the cost. I'm wondering if an aftermarket piston will be different enough weight to throw the engine out of balance because I am only doing 1 out of 3 cylinders. By the way this is cylinder #2.
If anybody has an opinion please give me some advice.
Thanks
