I’m hoping to gain a little insight into the Ford 3 cylinder diesels as we have a 3910 at work in dire need of help. It came into the shop for an engine oil leak near the flywheel, it didn’t sound quite right to me so I cut the engine oil filter open and found sparklies. After I removed the engine and put it on a stand a little disassembly showed more loose metal which I traced to the rear main bearing that has been spinning in the block. A quick check of the crank shows about 0.040” runout.
So, what engine should be in this tractor and what others might fit? Anything I need to know about mixing and matching parts if I can find another block/crank? I’m in Eastern Canada and have tried most salvage yards I can find east of Ontario and very little luck so far.
Just trying to come up with economical repair options. Many thanks, Sam
