Your engine is shot run it until it quits or you get tired of sucking smoke just be sure to keep plenty of oil in it.Ford/NH used to sell complete ready to bolt in engines which may be the way to go.On a diesel engine that worn out not only will all internal parts probably need to be replaced but all the injection system and a clutch will be most likely needed.And if you think tractor sellers are good at ripping folks off they are amateurs compared to some of the "mechanics" around.If I were in your shoes with little or no mechanical knowledge I"d sell it for salvage or someone looking for a fixerupper and take my loses.Then hire a tractor mechanic the next time I went to buy a tractor to run a compression test on the cooling system and cylinders.Then give it a though general inspection.It"d be the best $50 to $100 you could spend.A good mechanic would have looked at your present tractor about 30 seconds and told you to run not walk away for the money you paid
