Early John Deere 4020 and the engine is getting tired, it still runs but there is blow by and it starts harder than it should. Lots of white smoke at start up and the weep holes are damp, not dripping yet….
I am just trying to be proactive and be prepared so when the time comes in the next year or so I know what I want to do. Sometimes I think I should just rebuild it and then at the same time I think I should put in a transplant. I know the common answer for the transplant is a NA 466 out of a combine. What about a late style 404 form a 30 series or a combine? Then there is the possibility of a 359T or a 414.
I do not particularly want to hear about the 466 as I k now that this is a great engine in all and probably will be the option that I go with.
Tell me about the late style 404, the 359T, and the 414. I want to know why or why not on these engines. I have time so if it takes a couple of months to find what I want it is what it is. As I said, I know that the 466 is most likely my choice, but I want to hear more about the others.
I have used a 359T in a 4050 and in a 4040 European and I was impressed with their performance as well as how great they started at 20 degrees with no heat.
Thoughts?
