Would you buy one for $3000 just overhauled? 2 plugs already burned out.

Having recently just done that same thing, the answer would have to be maybe. Who did the overhaul? Can they produce all the bills and details of what was done? Was it a mechanic familiar with the model? How does it run now? How much (if any) smoke is there, etc...

I suggest caution, as my rebuilt engine required over 4K invested to bring it back to running well, including a new injector pump, rebuit injectors (three times before everything was finally sorted out) new starter, new timing chain (would have thought that was included in a total rebuild) and the cam re-installed incorrectly.

Now haveing said that, I love the tractor, and it does everything I want of it with no complaint. I made the mistake of jumping on the "just overhauled" merit and got burned. Sadly, it was a smaller dealer in my area to boot.

If you have a mechanic friend familiar with older diesels (or diesels in general) take them along and have them give a once or twice over to get a good feel of what the real story is.

Hope this helps.

Mike

Need some info in order to help you. What do you mean "two plugs already burned out"? Also, condition? What kind of "overhaul"?

The guy selling it said 2 plugs were burned out trying to start it. He"s using ether to start it. I didn"t get the details of the overhaul. The guy is hard of hearing so yelling in the phone was useless. I"m gonna go by there tomorrow or Saturday if the weather permits. I"ll get the details of the overhaul. Same thoughts were running through my head on the overhaul. How much is left of the crank? New Cam? I think he said he spent $1,000 on the engine which I bet did not consist of much. Can you still find all the parts for these tractors?

Parts are still available but be prepared to pay! Try to find someone in your area who has experience with this engine to check it out with you. You would be better to pay him $25 to look at it then walk away if it wasn't right than to buy it and then have to decide weather to dump it or rebuild it. You could also try to find out who has rebuilt these engines before. You also want a dual clutch model.
