Got the engine out of the Super 55 yesterday. Only had to use the redneck torque wrench on one of the four motor mount bolts. Got it mostly torn down. Looks like sleeves & pistons and turning the crankshaft. Not sure yet how much head work will need done. I have only been inside a few engines, but this one is the nastiest I have ever seen. I don't think the previous owners were big on oil changes. There is some good news. Someone at some time has put in a new clutch, pressure plate, and worked on the pto clutch. There are still broken pieces of some previous mechanical failure in the bottom of the clutch housing. It must be all fixed because I don't see anything wrong in there.

Stay tuned for progress updates.

I rebuild my super 55 deisel couple of years ago, new sleeves and pistons, new bearings, took head to shop to have reworked. Tractor runs great, didn't know it had that much power before rebuild, I assumed injector pump was good since it did run before rebuild but after I reinstalled it wouldn't run, had the pump rebuilt and everything was fine. My advise is if your gonna spend the time to rebuild it, have the pump rebuilt too.

Mine is a gas burner. Somehow everyone got the impression it is a diesel. Anyhow, glad to hear your rebuild was successful. Hopefully mine will be.

Are you working on a gas or diesel? I have a diesel that has not run yet after reassembly. Just took the top off the trans tonight. Gears all look good. I still need to take the top half apart. Waiting for all the hydraulic oil to run on my shop floor. Hopefully I'll get some time this week to pop it apart and see whats happening in there. I just told my wife that I don't know if I'll ever get this thing going but I am learning something about tractors and some new words!
