350DU engine knock

My story, developed an engine thump/knock a while back and finally turned into a large clank. Pulled the oil pan and found the crankshaft cracked, just aft of the middle crank bearing. Lots of metal in pan, thinking maybe bearing went first. Now I need to decide what to do with it, fix or part out. I went thru the tractor (less engine internals) a few years ago and spent $2k. Poor tractor :(

That is a great little tractor.... would be a shame to part it out! I would love to have one of those... Don't quit yet.... Most IHC guys don't realize this but that is a Continental engine... and the very same engine used in the Massey Harris 33... and the only difference between a gas and a diesel 33 is in the head. You can buy a 33 Massey gas crankshaft and bearings and put them right in.... Hope this helps and gives you some options! Good luck
