well this is a new one on me, i posted last week about a to 30 i drug home with what was supposed to be a bad crank, and i found water in the oil pan, well i started getting into it today, i have antifreeze drips on the bottom of the 2 rear cylinders liners, but none on the walls of the block, so im thinking thats good, probably leaking o rings right? BUT you guys get this, when i took off the oil pan, the rod caps are gone- i mean missing, all of them and the bolts, too, how i was able to turn the motor over is a mystry, i can still turn it too[ im using a screwdriver 1/4 turn at a time on the pully notches, i guess thats letting the rods swing out of the way, im sure glad now that i didnt put a battery on it and try to spin it with the starter,it looks like yt needs about 1400 for all the stuff new in the bottom except the cam, i didnt price it, what do you all think, i'll probably end up with a very expencive fergy when i get her done, and then i'll have to sell one of my tractors [ to finance whatever i find next]

Eric, I have probably EVERYTHING you need to fix your tractor engine. I am parting out a TO-30, and have a good crankshaft (never turned), cam, gears, a set of rods, caps, and bolts (numbers 1-4), two oil pumps, pickup screens and tubes, two sets of liners (stock and 3-3/8 inch oversize with a small chip out of one), a set of 3-3/8 piston rings, complete gasket set with front and rear seals and tuneup kit, cap rotor, etc. I have no use for any of this stuff, and will sell any parts you want for a GOOD deal including shipping. I want someone to get some use out of it. The tractor had a badly cracked block, so I decided to part it out a while back. If you need anything else, just ask. [email protected]

That does sound unusual to be missing the rod caps. The prev. owner must have been in there & removed them, but never finished the job.
The O-rings on your sleeves will definitely leak as you describe. Rebuilding these old Fergys is usually not a good cost investment, you will easily spend more than the resale value, it is rather a labor of love, as you are quickly figuring out.

Hey there eric?; First thing I have to say is,I AM NOT a fergy expert, but I think you should check the crank for uneven wear.It MIGHT be OK then replace all bearings,get new rods,then go from there.Like I
said i'm no expert. Bob
God Bless
