Hi guys I'm looking at a block with stuck pistons and a good crank I want to rebuild it so I don't have to disable the tractor until it's ready. What I would like to know is what do you think I should offer for it? He says that the block is good but the sleeves and pistons are rusted in place. I would like your advice thanks all. |

If the block is not cracked anywhere it could be worth $150/$200. You cannot tell if the block is not cracked until you pull the sleeves to look at the bottom webs. I went threw 3 blocks before I found one that was not cracked on the bottom. I made the mistake of assuming the blocks where good before I removed the sleeves. If you want to take the risk offer him $100. If the crankshaft is good, it will be worth that.

I'd make a deal with the owner you will strip the block down and have it checked before paying for it, then you are not paying for a bad block. I don't buy blocks without making the deal of pay after it's checked out or pay for it with a deal of refund if it's not good. I have a pile of junk blocks now. lol ------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

Tell the guy to take it apart , then u can check it out . If u do not know what it is DO NOT buy it ,that's what I would do. ------------- He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless ,still dead. If all else fails ,Read all that is PRINTED. |

Don and Fred have good points might not be cracked now but who knows what could happen during the piston/sleeve removal ------------- Life is tough,but it's tougher when you're stupid. - John Wayne |

| I carry a piece of rough emery cloth with me. If it isn't cracked on the top between sleeves, I doubt very much that its cracked on the bottom. Not to say it can't be, but I've never seen that scenario. I bought one just like what you're looking at a year ago for $75....as-is... my risk. Block and crank were very nice and had a lot of parts left over. |

Perhaps you should ignore my response. It doesn't seem to be worth even 2 cents to some people. ------------- www.awtractor.com A&W TRACTOR 920-598-1287 KEEPING ALLIS-CHALMERS IN THE FIELDS THROUGH THE 21ST CENTURY |

I certainly did not mean to slight Alex or anyone else. I apologize if I implied that. I was trying to point out that he had responses from several of the most respected posters on the forum.
