Hey guys.....last year we traded for a tractor that had supposedly been "rebuilt". A got bought it on the side of the road to do his garden, the 3rd day of owning it it started smoking severely and brought it to our place and we ended up trading with him and he got a nice Farmall 140.
Now we have decided to diagnose the issue and see what the problem is. The only reason we traded is because the tractor ran good and strong but smoked like a chimney (usually just rings). It also had a quiet driveline. My uncle took the engine apart the other day to get started and wanted me to ask about what he discovered. The rod bearings have significant visual wear on the tops towards the piston. He said that was odd to him and he didn't know why it was that way. He suspects that the pistons were installed incorrectly?? And he mentioned about a number on the piston should face a certain way? Would this have caused that?
Also, note that the cylinders (sleeves) look really great like they might have been replaced. no wear anywhere on them like you would find with rings being worn.
