I have a JD720 Diesel Standard with a broken connecting rod. Questioning if this should be repaired or the tractor just sold as is or for parts. I am no mechanic and want a running tractor. This tractor hasnt been run in 6 years, so I assume the piston would also be frozen on that side. I can get the crank to turn half a rev and then it catches due to the broken rod. Otherwise, the tractor is in decent shape, needs some minor repairs to get operational. Just wondering what it would be worth in this condition, and what to expect if repairing the rod. The pony is fine, no PS, sheetmetal is good, rubber fair, paint faded. Your thoughts???

Matt,
I don't know much about the worth, but do know you would not have any trouble selling as is. If you plan on paying someone else to fix it, you could get into some $$. You could just replace the rod on that side, but once in it that deep, I'd want to check the other rod for cracks. Also the crankcase, oil lines, crank journals, etc. for damage. Since this is a working tractor, if you had it fixed right, you now know what you have. If you sold it and and bought something else used, you could be back in this situation again because you never know for sure. Just my opinion, but I'd find someone I trusted and fix it. Good luck with it.
