Reman engine block

Kory1998 · Dec 15, 2018

Just for future reference does anybody know where you could
or can get a good reman engine block like say for 4020 806
1066 4430 etc.
All state ag use to offer stuff like they but they got out of doing
it. Idk who else.

VERY mixed reviews on the quality of Jasper engines. Caution advised.

There are hundreds of used blocks available for any of those tractors in salvage yards through out the country. As long as the block isn't cracked or damaged from a rod toss, the blocks can be completely refurbished by a reputable machine shop that has the equipment to rebuild them. If you are worried about the liner seal grooves being rusted out or deteriorated, the bad area can be machined out and a new seal boss pressed in. The block can be line bored,new cam bearings installed and the block decked and the liner seat counter bored,setting the liner protrusion to spec. Going this route, expect to pay $2-3000 in machine shop charges,if it is in rough shape, plus the price of a used block.Add another $500 to $1000 to have the head redone,$6-700 to turn and polish the crank,$2-300 to regrind the cam to spec,and $1300-1500 for an engine kit.Still leaves the injector pump and injectors to be checked,or rebuilt.Using your old style 4020 as an example, you have now spent $10,000 on a $8-9000 tractor and you haven't touched the clutch or flywheel or any other repairs the tractor needs.

Those tractors are all forty, fifty or more years old. The cost of re-manufacturing a block or rebuilding a short block is probably more than the finished value of those tractors. The collectors with deep pockets will want to rebuild their original blocks. Low hour combine engines can be found for a fraction of the price to rebuild an engine. Is there enough demand and profit left to justify the cost of rebuilding those engines and them in inventory anymore?

YOu sir have hit that ole nail right on the head. Ain't many guys farming with 4020's or 806's. Those that are most often are operating on a shoe string. Bank isn't going to lend the money to dump 10K into repairing a 10K tractor. If the debtor puts in that reman engine then the tranny goes that tractor is going to become the banks property. Running tractor worth 10K drops off in value real fast if a major component fails. SO what rebuilder is going to sit there with a bunch of reman engines the bank won't finance?

All states ag has a long block ready to bolt in for 9500.00 and 1500 core by the time you do all the work you won?t be much cheaper than that anyway especially if there are any surprises .
