Lac qui Parle County Minnesota | I have a early '80's TW25. First tractor I bought on my own 20+ years ago. She's been a great tractor and has never let me down. My Dad put many hours field cultivating and chisel plowing with her and now she's tired and semi retired. I use her on the augers a little and on the snowblower. I would like to dress her up again, but still use her for lighter duty of spraying, maybe a little cart work and still on the snow blower.
So I'm looking at options for the engine. So what's a good way to go?
I know Bern has talked about putting in thicker sleeves and boring them out to original. Who makes sleeves like that and any idea on cost. Do they come in an engine kit that way? What's the going rate for machining work?
I know a lot of guys have bashed remanufactured engines but I noticed that New Holland now offers 2 year warrantees on their remans. Is that an option that I would be happy with?
I'm not set up right now to do the overhauling myself and I would like to get her going before fall.
I know guys will say send her down the road, but there's a lot of sentimental value and I at least know what I got.
Open to any and all ideas and advice. | |
