The block and/or sleeves? Was it freeze damage or run out of oil and put a rod through the block? How much are you planning to pay for repairs? [Reply]  [No Email]

I was getting worried when you had not promptly responded. My tractor still runs so replacement is optional. When the time comes when having to choose between spending more than what it's worth on repairs. It's gone and new/nearly new will be purchased. Parts and labour repairing the 950 is going to cost as much as trading the busted 950 for a new 2WD 3005. We are not comparing here Waterloo 50/55/60 series with those new and overly complex commmon rail Tier III & Tier IV tractors. I agree keep the 50/55/60 series Waterloo's running. If purchasing a small 2000,3000,4000 or 5000 series tractor. Do it quick before they are converted from mechanical injection to common rail emissions before the end of 2013. Manufactures are going to Tier IV now rather than rushing at the end of 2013. [Reply]  [No Email]

CH18171 SHORT BLOCK ASSEMBLY CH18173 CYLINDER BLOCK (INCLUDES PARTS MARKED (B)) (NLA) Price when new back in 1988 Original price (USD): $12,000 Production: 1978 - 1989 Compact Utility tractor Distributor: John Deere Manufacturer: Yanmar Factory: Japan John Deere 950 Power: Drawbar (claimed): 23 hp [17.2 kW] PTO (claimed): 27 hp [20.1 kW] Drawbar (tested): 22.12 hp [16.5 kW] PTO (tested): 27.36 hp [20.4 kW] power test details ... Mechanical: Chassis: 4x2 2WD 4x4 MFWD 4WD (optional) Steering: manual power optional Brakes: differential mechanical expanding shoe Cab: ROPS. You have to figure what the tractor is worth as is? Worth after restoring to operational condition a 23-33 yr old tractor with how many hours and how much wear? All and total costs to return to operational condition. Price of new replacement with no wear, no previous abuse and full warranty? One has to run the numbers and figure what in your personal situation is cheapest in short and long term. If it's freeze damage, what else is busted? Repair or sell/trade and purchase? There is no perfect solution, all are compromises. 4X4, 41HP under $16,000 http://www.deere.com/specsapp/CustomerSpecificationServlet?sbu=CCE&pciModel=4005%20LV&displayModelName=4005%20Compact%20Tractor%20(41.5%20hp)&tM=HO&pNbr=1460LV 2WD 27HP $11,000 http://www.deere.com/specsapp/CustomerSpecificationServlet?sbu=CCE&pciModel=3005%20LV&displayModelName=3005%20Compact%20Tractor%20(27%20hp)&tM=HO&pNbr=1450LV [Reply]  [No Email]

Routine mowing, moving hay bails out to the animals, some snow plowing. It ran like a million dollars. It leaked oil where I didn"t notice it. I am not a engine mechanic person. My fault. 2 wheel drive, but everything else works awesome. [Reply]  [No Email]

And another Yanmar of similar power. Can't hurt to checkout the JD short block.Sometimes some JD parts are surprisingly reasonable in price. http://www.yanmar.com/products/industrial-engines/liquid-cooled/tnv/variable-speed-engines/3tnv88-bdsa/ http://www.yanmar.com/products/industrial-engines/liquid-cooled/tnv/variable-speed-engines/3tnv82a-bdsa/ [Reply]  [No Email]
