I have acquired this tractor with knowing it had a problem the guy I bought it from said he had it rebuilt 50 hours ago he was taking hay and it started making engine noise and oil pressure was jumping so he shut it down so I pulled pan checked all rod bearing the looked good pulled main caps and it had spun some of the the tractor looks like a wheat land but has three point and fuel tank fenders with good sheet metal tires aren't new but would run for a while was wondering if any of you would be interested in it if not I will fix it I'm gonna try and upload some pics of it

It's located in northeast Kansas

Out in your area the wheatland might be a plus. In the Midwest they tend to be a little softer than a row crop. A nice clean 1950T row crop with a sound engine will fetch good money around here. A wheatland with engine problems would probably be something around scrap value. Good luck. I hope you find someone who has an interest in your tractor.

Gee, at least I got a couple of hundred hours on mine on the first "rebuild". The fool that ground the crank, ground it on a taper.....................Came very close to ruining the crank.

I do not know what you paid, but the above post was pretty close to right. Fender fuel tanks usually bring around $500. Two speed hydrapower not much, front end not much, sheet metal looks good. I would either get $4-5,000 together or call a salvage yard.
Might consider a 5.9 Cummins if you like the tractor.
Around here there is only one machine shop left and it is on its last legs. Imported Crankshafts, other parts, and automotive crate engines have pretty much killed the trade. I do my own heads, rods and toying with buying a crank grinder. The one shop we have left had the good guy on cranks retire 2 years ago. Now, when I pickup a crankshaft I measure it every which way to Sunday before paying. Even check the radius and put it on an oak block and hit with a hammer to see if the ring is the same(cracked or not). I miss the old days when a machinist was a machinist.
