I did the engine in a friend's 455C last year. Those 201 blocks are known to have poor casting quality or cavitation issues. I belive it was cavitation. The one I did, someone borrowed and ran it low on coolant due to a leaking radiator hose and overheated it, smearing all 3 pistons. The shop I took it to wouldn't bore it unless they bored/sleeved/rebored, due to that issue. To have that done and to have the head and rods rebuilt, was $1300, plus the parts for the engine rebuild. But thats cheap really. It is a good strong, reliable, and simple backhoe. I just got parts for a Ford tractor engine, can't remember what model, it was the later block with the bigger headbolts. The specs came from a tractor as well, as I didn't have a 455 manual. Tillman hardware looked up the coinciding tractor based on the engine SN I gave them, and gave me the specs based on that, with the assurance they were the same. They went above and beyond what I needed from them. They told me that backhoe specific parts would have to come from a New Holland industrial dealer, which I don't know of any, anywhere near me.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
