I bought a '84 Long 460 with a loader. The previous owner said that it would not start and that it needed a rebuild because he thought the compression was low. I tinkered and bled the fuel system and got it started. It ran for about 5 - 10 seconds and through a rod. Now...I need an engine or engine block. I am located in Culpeper, Va....any information would be appreciated.

thanks
Allan Williams

Culpeper, VA ehh? Is where my family lives close by in Warrenton & Remington, right across the river. Are you sure you will need an entire engine assembly? Have you disassembled the engine to see if you can salvage it. May just need to replace some rods, pistons, and have the crank refinished. Or did it throw the rod through the side of the block? That is gonna be a tough engine to find but maybe these guys can help get you in touch with someone who handles them. ....

Yes, the rod poked a hole in the block. I am pulling the engine down to see what is salvagable. ....

Sorry to hear about that. All I can think of is that maybe you can call Trible Equipment and see if they can steering to a shop that can help you out. I think they have a store in Warrenton and Manasass.

Sure hope you can work something out and fix this machine for a reasonable price.

Not a great situation. Hope it works out better than it stated. Coming up with an engine from a parted out tractor may prove difficult. Below is a link I ran across to a list of salvage yards. Maybe there are better lists but this one might help.

If it's the right kind of hole you might take heart. If it's below the cylinders and not into a water jacket they sometimes can be repaired successfully. Takes a specialty shop to do it though. Most likely there's other damage to the engine and then parts could be a problem. Bad situation at best but maybe it'd be an easier and cheaper route than a different engine. ....
