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!

12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
