My grandpa used to pull with a old 77 diesel. It has now sat in the back of his shed for the past 20+ yrs because it spun a rod bearing. How hard would this be to replace or fix? How much would it cost? Would I have to get the crankshaft reworked or get a new crankshaft? I'm not sure if it is stuck, but if it is, it can be too bad. It's been sitting in a shed, away from the elements. Another bad thing though, its been sitting that long without any oil in the engine. It has also has a few parts stolen, but I figured i could just buy a parts tractor for a few hundred bucks and get the parts off of that. I know its missing a gas tank, the grill and radiator to say the least. It has 18.4 tires, which are weathered some, with two sets of wheel weights on it. It also has two way hydraulics, so if i just put some regular sized tires on it, it could be nice for pulling a disk around. How hard do you think it would be to get this old girl running again? I'm sure since I'm his only grandson, and if I play my cards right, he'd probably give it to me. What do you guys think? Is it worth the money? I will post pics the next time I get up to his farm. Thanks

Assuming it was not worn out prior to the spinning bearing, I would think you could get by as simply as freeing up the stuck engine with an effective solvent and getting that crankshaft turned. It's probably a rod bearing. You may not even have to replace the mains. In fact, while it's not recommended, I know of people who have just had one journal turned and re-used all the other bearings. I wouldn't shy away from the job/tractor.

Most everyone here will be more than glad to help you. You might also ask on the Oliver Forum.

I know if my grandson wanted to do this it would be his when done. It really is good to see a young person interested, just DO NOT quit till it is done. You will let your grandpa down and everyone on here that will try to help.

Don't be a quitter. You will have a lot of fun and a real learning experience.

Jim
