This is not answering your question, but it seems to me that the simpler solution would be to rebuild the engine already in your tractor. Do you not have faith in the NH dealership? Are there no competent diesel shops in your area? You might be able to get that engine blowby problem stopped without redoing the lower end. If the crank is good, a top end and ring job could put you back in good shape. Just throwin' out ideas. . . .
Wise words jinman. As far as the local NH dealer is concerned, their first words were "it's not worth fixing. You would be much smarter trading it in and buying a new one. I'm sure I overpaid it's the nature of the newby. But I'm also sure if it still has value it must be worth fixing otherwise it would be worth nothing.
Their estimate to fix without seeing it was $3-4 K! That may be valid but I'd like to do it cheaper.
Oil and smoke are poring out the crankcase vent pipe and of course it has no power. It will start however.

As far as I know there isn't any where to buy remaned Shibura engines. There has been a lot of discussion on it. If you are mechanically inclined split the tractor and remove the engine. Take the engine to a reputable machine shop and have it rebuilt. If you cant remove the engine yourself you are limited on who you have rebuild it. If the engine runs it is fixable.
