I,ve heard rumors of govt,[probably EPA ]starting to put restrictions on reusing older non emission engines in cars and trucks.Any one heard of this?It may eventually apply to tractors.
 
In theory this is true, if you rebuild a car or truck or replace the engine, you are supposed to bring it up to the current emissions levels. This also applies to heavy movers such as locomotives.

However, there is little to enforce this requirement, and it would be very difficult to get caught.

Yep. I thought this had always been this way since emission standards were set for vehicles.
the drive train components must meet emission standards per the chassis date of manufacture not the date of the replacement engine.
 
It was always my understanding that the emissions standards that had to be met were the ones in place on the day of manufacture of the vehicle, not the day of the rebuild.

Goose pretty sure you are right. Few years back the EPA decided that they could get hot rods off the road if they could force anyone building them to meet current emission standards. The aftermarket auto industry fought that tooth and nail. That's were the rule came up that they had to meet the standards for the year model of the cassis.

Never, ever heard that about rebuilding an engine. I do know that new replacement engines have to meet current emission standards because they fall under the "new" engine category. But how could they do that on a rebuild? They don't ship as complete ready to run units. To make that rule stick they would have to be ready to run. And then they still wouldn't meet standards without a new exhaust system.

Now that being said I was told that any company that makes new engines are being held to the emission standards on anything they rebuild. But that was just what I was told.

Just another way in a long line of crap the Gov. is trying to do to hurt the little guy. Just think one day they will say you can not farm with a tractor that is less then 10 years old and you can not run or drive one that is 10 years old or older
 
The way I heard it,Talk of restricting sale of used parts and engines by recyclers{wreckers} and part suppliers of older engines by taxes and subsidies.So much for recycling being good for the environment.

Did you hear that or do you have a link?

Heard the EPA is trying to regulate/severely restrict glider kits, so this avenue might disappear in the near future. I'm pretty sure it will be a long time before the EPA gets down to the farmer level to eliminate rebuilds and engine replacements. They will hit component suppliers and mainline rebuilders first. Eventually work down to the local dealers.
