I looked at a 4000D today. Seller had removed the original engine some - 10?12? years ago and installed a new, crate 201. He said the dealer told him it was for a 4610. It does have the extra cross hatching on the block. He ran the engine for a couple thousand hours and it started pushing oil into the water. He's not an engine man so he had a 'mechanic' look at it and couldn't find the problem. So he removed the crate engine and put the old, tired 201 back in then promptly seized it when the oil plug fell out and it ran out of oil. Ouch! So I'm looking at this as a package deal maybe. We all know on the older 3 cyl diesels cavitation was a problem. Not only cavitation into the cylinders but also into the oil gallerys. There is an old school engine man here in MN that has repaired many of the 3,4 and 6 cyl diesels by reaming out all the oil gallerys and locktiteing in a tube. So I understand the issue is not new. But I'm a little surprised that a new style BS block would have that problem. Anyway, getting to the punchline here, is there another way an engine could put oil into the water OTHER than from a gallery? Engine is complete and fairly low houred so might be worth trying to save. Not sure what I'd do with the tractor. It's kind of a dog. I did make a low ball offer offer on it and the spare engine though. He said he'd think it over.

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
