I wish SVcummins many good yrs of service . RichardG comment about how many rebuilds got me to thinking . I helped do a 283 about 1970,Then helped a friend do a 340 Dodge Duster , Dad and I tackled a DC Case , a 300 Case , 800 Case diesel followed, Those were all Dads projects . I have done 2 430 Case 188 Diesels , A 3010 JD Gasser ,429 Mercury Marquis engine, Another DC , A 730 Case Gasser , then a SC , then another 800 Diesel. the worst offender has been My Yanmar diesel , Going in for 3 rd time rebuild ! .. Long STORY on all the reasons Why , it was not tractors fault or mine except for allowing idiots to get on the poor thing ! One of my helpers ran it out of fuel while i was sick with china flu . He wanted to solve his problem without telling me ( and also because I told him that tractor might need fuel ) . you guessed it, over ethered it !and blew a piston ring set into the pan ,! The Yanmar has a Decompresser but he was not well versed on how everything worked , NEW RULE .. NO ONE ethers any Engine Unless I am there supervising.. ShheeSH , At $1000 dollars per engine , And that is low for the cost of a rebuild . I have spent some serious bucks overhauling engines . and I am 65 . The last few have cost a bunch more than a thousand each because i hired the work out. I spent 5 K to rebuild a in frame 1070 Case last spring , only to break the crankshaft some 10 hours after she drove out of the shop .. Lucky Me , i got a Crankshaft refurbished for 600 dollars . Yes Farming is expensive lifestyle , Sometimes a guy Gets Lucky , most Times Not . I should a made this a seperate post ..Good Luck Guys !

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
