Case C rod/babbit?

As some of you on this board may know I have a '37 C orchard that I've had for the past 5 years. I really loved this little tractor, but now I'm unsure what direction to take with it, now that I need to do some (more) engine work to it. I am capable of engine overhaul work, but the parts expense (I am pretty well streched now that I'm in college) is the limiting factor.


I used my Case C orchard quite a bit in the last couple years, and was always impressed with the tractor.

Unfortuneately, while doing a combining exibition for my antique tractor club, last august my CO burned out a rod, and now has a knock to it. I dunno what I am going to do, as I am in college (I'm only 20), and I really don't want to pay to get the rod(s) rebabited professionally as this would run $100/ a rod. Anyone out there have a used case c/cc/co rod that has some babbit left? Also if anyone has any other ideas on battit on a budget it would be appreciated. I'd sure appreciate hearing from you. I really like the tractor and it's history, Thanks,
Kent

Here's what I would do. Pull the side cover and un-bolt the bad rod. slide it down far enough the remove the center bolt at the piston pin. Then slide the pin out and pull the rod out. You can also slide the complete piston/ ring assembly out. (makes it easier to get to the bolt and change the rod) The babbit is very forgiving on a C/D series tractor and very rarely hurts the crank. Pick up a used rod from one of the good folks on this board (I am sure someone has a extra) change it out without pulling the head or oil pan. Your looking at a 1 hour job that will cost you the price of a used rod ($20-$50) and a little silicone for the side cover and a oil change ( clean the pan out good). I have found that when the babbit starts coming apart it don't stop till it is all gone from the rod. Just because the babbit is bad it does not mean the oil pressure is low. If you were working on one of them off brand tractors (and not a Case) I would say you had a expencive job, but the C/D series was made to be able to change a rod in the field and if you have done it before it's a 30 minute job.
