I have had my old 1650 for about 14 years now and the engine is getting pretty tired. It still runs fair but i don't work it that hard. I have had to use either to crank it pretty much ever since i have had it but now you have to even if it is 80 degrees out. I wonder should i try to rebuild it or just hope for the best and keep using it? It only takes a short blast in the precleaner bulb and it usually starts right up.
Also if i were going to try to rebuld it myself what would be a good book or reference to go by with good instructions. By the way it is the late model engine like a 1655.

How many hours are on the engine? I have also had good results rebuilding the heads on these engines by putting a full set of seats in the head and setting the valve recession according to the service bulletin. Do you know what a cylinder leak-down test is and have you ever had an oil analysis run when you changed oil?

Thanks guys you bring up some good points. I haven't done the oil analyis or the leak down test or a compression check. Basically i haven't used the tractor very much in the last 5 years and it very seldom gets pulled or worked very hard, it has about 4500 hrs showing and don't really think it has ever been apart. I thought about doing the head job and having the injection system rebuilt but then i worry about the bottom end holding up? I am planning on using it more this year pulling a hay cutter and baler that is why i am thinking about the engine but as always i don't have money to throw away either!

Assuming it's a diesel.
Has it been serviced according to factory regularly?
Does it use a lot of oil?
Does it suffer from crankcase pressure?
Is it compression or injection?
If compression, top or bottom end?
Oil pressure?
Maybe not running it hard enough and glazing the bores?
How many hours, total, and in last 14 years?
Starting problem is not the only parameter for deciding to spend a lot of money on a rebuild. Regards,RAB
