Iseki TA207 Connecting rods

[tv3]

Hello everyone,

I'm quite new to this whole tractor business and, therefore, not too educated about their engines, specially the old ones. I have an Iseki Landleader 207 (TA207) tractor with an E3AG1 Engine (1.429L 3cyl diesel), which has 3 bent connecting rods due to a recent accident.


So far, my luck trying to find replacement connecting rods has been vague :thumbdown: . Therefore, I come here asking you all whether anyone has experience with this sort of thing?
Do connecting rods from other engines / other manufacturers fit my E3AG1 ?
Should I purchase 3 whole new rods or only 1 and give it to a professional workshop as an example to straighten out the bent ones? Or can I simply find the original blueprints and measurements of the engine parts?
Would a connecting rod from, let's say, a similar 1.5 litre engine fit my engine?
Any ideas where should I continue my search?

Anything helps! If you need any other details, ask away!
I'm not a native English speaker, so pardon for any mistakes.

Here are the approximate measurements of the connecting rod (this one is in best shape) :

I've tried a certified Iseki distributor in Lithuania, however they did not provide me any support whatsoever, since my TA207 wasn't an European model. Other dealers only sold whole tractors(or engines), rather than parts of it. I'll try my luck today with Massey Ferguson Dealers and asking about TA 525.

I had one bent rod in a KE70 engine that was found upon rebuilding. I ended up bending it back in a large shop press and it seems to be working fine. Not necessarily a "best-practices" approach and you won't get it perfect but something to consider especially when replacements are apparently hard to source and you should be able to get close enough. However, the rod I had was only about half as bent as the one you have shown. I was worried the bearing ends of the rod would deform upon re-bending as this is what was pressed against but I didn't observe any. If you try this you might want to put the piston pin in just to help prevent the issue.

I've come across this connecting rod from a different engine, however the model number seems to be somewhat similar. Any ideas if it would work out for me? I've also tried messaging the seller, however I am yet to receive a reply. Iseki 3AD1 Isuzu 3AB1 connecting rod Massey 124 125 126, White 31 37, Bolens | eBay
