Neighbor has a 4230 with some kinda small knock..he now wants to get rid of it..about what's the going price on a in frame overhaul..that's if the crank is ok that is..someone else would be doing the work...just tring to see if its worth buying..I just need to know how much...I don't need any smart mouth comments that is..thanks..bill..
 
A good quality in frame engine kit with bearings,rod bolts, and gaskets will be in the $1000+ range. Machine shop bill on the head will be in the $400-$800 range depending on if the valves or seats need to be replaced to get the proper valve standout. Figure another $100+ for oil,filters, antifreeze. About 16- 20 hours labor. This is assuming the pump and injectors are good and the crank isn't damaged.
 
Just curious where you can get an in-frame kit for a grand? And if the head needs a complet kit, th last one I had done on a 4020 was $1100.
 
$4000+ would be starting fiqure.I know of several that went thru our local JD service center at 9K+.There is a right way and a cheap way and the right way usually is cheaper in long run.The salvage value is around $5K if it has a Sound Guard cab and good running average ones are around $11/12K.I like running ones with out noises.
 
Seems like when I do them it runs around $5500, and don"t charge near what most do,,I don"t care about money,, I just love to fix tractors :^)
 
+1. On one of my tractors it rattled at startup if the fluid was a little low. Can surely be misleading if you don't know what's making the noise.
