 Topic: What would you do?
Posted: 09 Feb 2012 at 1:33pm |

I recently parted out a 185D that had transmission and other problems. I was hoping the motor would fire up, but as it turns out it is stuck. The oil isn't even black in it and I think it might just be locked up from sitting. I'm debating whether to sell it as is, try soaking it, take the head off and take a look inside, or just part it out. Any suggestions?

If you don't try, you'll always wonder.

Eldon - I'd part it out but keep it...way too many parts you can use on other tractors you have. How many times have you sold parts you wish you had now???? ;-) Mike

The tractor is parted out....I'm just wondering if I should sell the engine as parts. Even if I get it un-stuck I have no way to run it to see how it runs. I figure the head, injectors, pump, crank and block are probably worth more than what the engine would bring as is.

Part the engine out , lots of guys on here could probably use the parts. The tractor sounds like it is not going to run again so the parts it provides can help another to keep going.

 pull injectors and soak with a 50/50 mix of acetone and atf and then if you do part it out , you have more moving part`s to sell or used and very little expenses one qt of tran fluid and a qt of acetone one or two week . you decide HTH B:-) Dnoym
