Hey everyone, have a Q re rebuilding diesels. We have a IH 584 that has something like 8000 hrs on it. I vaguely (may be imagining) hear a knock when it is hot and getting a work out baling. The crank case vent is puffing some oil smelling smoke when it is warmed up and working hard. I have located a complete rebuilt kit for 1500$ and an in frame for 900$. Should I be looking at doing something like this to prevent crank damage? Should I pull the oil pan and check a crank bearing? How big of job is an in frame job? Should I be looking at full over haul? Do cylinder liners need to be pressed out and in? The tractor isn"t worth serious machine work as it is beat up but it is 4wd with cab and expensive to replace. It had a clutch installed last year but they neglected to replace the damaged ring gear. I don"t want to split the tractor as my shop isn"t finished yet. I"ve rebuilt small engines and done everything but engine rebuilds on cars/trucks. Thanks for any help!

Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
