We have a 2005 284 that we paid a mechanic $2,500. this summer to supply parts & “repair cylinder head, overhaul radiator, replace cracked therm housing, replace all hoses, clean oil from cooling system, change oil & filters multiple times to clean out lube system.” Shortly after this unexpected expense, the tractor broke down again, and now we have a different mechanic telling us that we need to repair the engine with the following parts required:
1.) Crankshaft
2.) connecting rod
3.) rod bearings
4.) main crankshaft bearing
5.) complete gasket overhaul kit
6.) set of piston rings
Where can I get pricing on these parts, and are they available in BC (preferably)? Or can anyone give me a total price delivered to BC? Once we know what the parts will cost, we can add this to the 40 hrs or less that the mechanic figures it will take to re & re it all. Then we can decide if we should repair this tractor or sell/trade it while it is not running.
We are going broke hobby farmers on 117 acres with very little mechanical experience, and any thoughts/suggestions/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Happy New Year,
Sylvia (& Ray)
