MASSIVE FORD pt2!!! WILL IT START? What did we find??  

You have a rod knocking. Do not keeping starting it if you don’t want too loose the engine.

Love the TW. One of my all time faves. I hope to see this TW repaired, as the knocking is pretty bad.

Well the way it was hammering you were going to open it anyway . Good luck , we’ll be watching for progress . 👍

It could be a crack sleeve. It could be a blown head gasket. It could be that if it’s a wet sleeve motor it could be the seals is out of the sleeves. There’s a lot that it could be hooked on with another big four-wheel-drive and I bought it to the shop and find out what’s going onmighty in the path and have two men and a boy to turn it. All I can say is have fun be safe and may God bless the godly redneck, machinist mechanic, equipment, driver, etc. etc..

It could just be the oil cooler. I think that is more likely because the oil poured into the crank case. Hopefully you can do a quick inframe and your as good as new.

Hey guys- I have some experience with these Fords. I’ve got an 8830 that’s still used on our farm. Most likely scenario is the coolant was not changed regularly and conditioner added as needed. These 401’s are a parent bore, and quite notorious for pitting of the cylinders. After watching this - I think - you will need to overbore the block and sleeve the cylinders .

It's nice to see the old girl getting saved. i drove tw 30, which was an awesome tractor going to follow the progress.

lovely old tractor well worth repairing good luck with the repair

Regardless its gonna need a full rebuild

Great video, I am sorry that I comment bad in the previous video, I was so sure it is lack of battery power, you was right and after this video I really think your friend bought a great tractor, may be just an in-frame rebuild and you have an awesome tractor, thanks for the video and your calm handling bad comments👌👍👍

Well that sucks he certainly owns the problem. from my understanding when those blocks go porous it's either eaten a pin hole through the cylinder wall or somewhere by the bottom of the block just above where the cam shaft is, there is no wet sleeve like a 4020 Deere has for example. The bore on this Ford is machined out and the sleeve is press fitted to fix the porous cylinder wall if thats the problem. if it isn't leaking there and the bore is worn anyway don't cheap out and over bore for bigger pistons, bore and sleeve it back standard as they can nearly be at the leaking point and it goes after fitting the bigger pistons without the repair sleeve installed. I've heard guys say on a 0000 series ford if they go above the camshaft it's possible to find the hole drill it out and fit a threaded pipe plug to seal it. If that was mine, i'd be pulling the rocker cover and the oil pan to try find the leak, also not sure if it has an oil cooler that could dump coolant in the oil pan. I've never owned or fixed Ford tractors that big, but know guys that have or dealt with fixing them more . I was offered an 8630 recently with a broken block thats a kit of parts, I turned it down as I don't know how good the rest of the tractor is without it running. It's a powershift transmission in it, and expensive to find and fix that if it's not right after the motor issues fixed. looking forward to more on this old girl, Take care guys.

Ether junked the engine breaks rings,pistons,rod bearings.

Big problems aside I just think there is a fuel or injector problem. Might needed to crack nuts to bleed the air, I don't think it was hitting on them all this time. Last video I remember it running good.

Well, dang! That ain't what you want. Looks like an in frame rebuild to me. Won't be bad though, those old tractors were easy to work on.

If you rebuild the engine you should put repair sleeves in it because the water jacket is too thin to bore.

Good going , getting the FORD tw 25 running , would be interesting to see were the oil is coming from . Will be good when the engine is fixed , rebuilt . the owner will have a good solid , powerfull tractor .

Yup, that thing was running on borrowed time. Cool fixer upper though…😀

I hate ford trucks but their tractors were unbeatable. Have a 1984 6610 still original engine. Cranks everyday and gets the job done. No ether ever.

Could be a pourus block, fords are notorious for it

Nice video.

Broken liner or head gasket...

Bummer man. Hopefully that was just a fuel knock, and a busted oil cooler. I'll be watching for an update.

Under the rocker cover there are freeze plugs. You should check if they are not rusted trough. and these ford engines do have problems with the cilinder sleeves if there is a hole in there it could leak coolant into the engine oil, i dont think that is the case because it would leak slowly into the oil

That a big tractor

You need to pull the valve cover and check the push rods sounds like one is off.

Can parts be located for these still. It figures on a head for starts .

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!! Leave a comment!!! THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

There’s a sleeve rotten out normal white ford

hey, you don't need to do an oil undercoating lol

You need to check the oil level in the injection pump. It's an inline pump and needs engine oil in it for lubrication. There's a plug on the bottom to drain it. A plug on the side to check the oil level and a BIG plug on top to fill it. All at the front of the pump. Best thing you could do is drain it and refill it.

Owch

Can of engine restore

I have a completely rebuilt motor for that tractor

there is your answer tow it to workshop ,strip her down fix it up you will have abeast

It's a FORD. Scrap it, and do the world a favour.
