1961 D17 over haul is coming as soon as the ford 5000 is sold. Searching the internet there at least two different kits. One place has one as a inframe kit and another one as a over haul kit. What is the differance besides the prices. there sure is a huge spread in the in frame kits also.  Al |

| Only someone who doesn't know that type of engine would ever do an "in-frame" overhaul. It will need camshaft bearings and a rear seal to be done correctly and that means "out-of-frame". |

Overhaul kit usually includes new pistons and sleeves from what I have seen. I agree with Dr. Allis. Definitely do the camshaft bearings while you have it apart. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

dito: never done a tractor engine, but have done several vehicle engines. if the cylinder walls, bearings, etc. are worn, so is the cam bearings. and the rear seal is a no brainer, pull the engine out. a bit more work, but atleast when it's done, it's done right. ------------- Just cause it's orange don't make it a tractor, there's only one..Allis Chalmers |
