D282 rebuild

Well it's been like 20 25 years since the last one and i don't do inframes but back them we could get you out the door for under 3K , today with prices HUMMMMMM i would hate to make out that bill. . When i did a rebuild we did a rebuild , Block was hot tanked , head was hot tanked , both block and head were checked for cracks , the deck of the block was refaced counter bores recut , crank was checked and reground if need be . both ends of the rods were done , line bore was checked and if needed it was line bored , Pump and injectors were done and new glow plugs installed and while it was out the flywheel was ground and a new clutch and pressure plate and any related parts replaced . Myself i don't like doing and inframe on and OLD tractor that has been inframed before . Ya can't really check the crank or the line bore , ya don't know if ya need to deck the block and getting the sleeve stand out to me is harder then when ya have it out .
 
what is wrong with it? people seldom do a complete rebuild nowdays with the price of parts and labor. if you do like vet said , you wont have any money left from a 10,000 bill if there was such a thing. just to get the head rebuilt is over 1k and could be 15 hundred depending on what all it needs and if its cracked it could be 2500. so the very first thing is magnafluxing the head. i have been into a few of them. just like on sunday at the pulls. the owner willed his 660 tractor to a girl that pulls there. the guy just had the head done and had a guy install it. next pull tractor ran like chit smoking and missing and sounded like hell. so in the meantime the girls dad took another head and had it rebuilt and they installed it. the dad said something wrong with that head. ok so sunday morning i said to him i want to see you start that tractor. held glow plugs and tractor started very lazily after about 10 seconds of cranking. i said your timing is retarded. bring it over to my truck. so i set the timing to 6 degree's and tried it, holy smokes tractor fired right up. then the girl did her pull and just like a different tractor. so the moral of the story is have a 282 mechanic look it over first before spending 2k for anther head job. and i fixed it with a 9/16 wrench and screwdriver. kinda made my day too. lol.
 
plus there is others , the 460 is the same engine with a shorter stroke. then the 606, even the little 340 used the same engine . only 4 cylinders though. same bore also. but a different piston.
 
Well it depends on WHO does the head . And depending on WHAT IT REALLY NEEDS . These new guys want to become millionaires over night and plus they don't know what they are doing . Where i take stuff now Chad would do that head providing NO new parts needed just clean the head and NOT HOT TANK it incase it has been repaired before and Pumped it will now leak like a sive if hot tanked But he would hot water pressure wash , do guides if needed and grind the valves and reface for 350-450 . I have not looked at cost on kits in a long time and my books are sofar out of date .BUT i would guesstamate around 170 or better per hole . I use to be able to beat everybodys prices on rebuild kits due to the fact i bought at Jobber price and still able to sell below wholesale . Makes a HUGE difference in cost . Years back the kits cost me 53 bucks a hole , that was piston , rings pin bushing and rod bearing and sleeve ., They were Seal power Kits.
 
What about the fact that you can't get a head gasket that will last on these anymore?

Unless there's been a new development from FelPro, their head gaskets are the only ones available, and they're no good. At least from what I've read on here.
