I am looking for a replacement motor or rebuild kit for my Gehl 3510. I hate to put a lot of money in due to it's age, but would like to keep using it. If no one has one , What salvage yards might.

My 3510 engine needs replaced or rebuilt. Are there used Pinto engines out there? Is there another engine that will work? Also are there rebuild kits still available?

With low compression, I decided I need another engine, The 3510 has a 1973 Ford Pinto engine in it. Is there engines out there to replace it , either the Pinto or some other engine that would fit. Also, are there rebuild kits for that engine?

Does anyone know where I might find a engine for this machine? What kind of pricing should expect? This is an old machine and I am not going to put much into it.

It is the same engine that was in the Ford Pinto. There is suppose to be a number on the block near the exhaust manifold, but we could not find it while on the machine. Also, there is suppose to be either a letter or not to ID the engine.

It was gas. They are not any closer to the carb then then others

We have rechecked the compression and found cyl. 1 is at 45, 2 at 62, and the other two at 100. The low cylinders were wet after turning the engine over. Unless someone has an idea, I believe I will be looking for an engine or possibly a rebuild kit.

We did the wire thing. I will try cranking at full throttle

We can't get it started to check at full throttle. It almost started after we set the timing but would not complete the start. It seems to have good spark

I have not, but They are free when the valves close.

Not electronic ignition and yes we have used a timing light and it seems to have good spark. Also, the compression is consistent at 75 - 80 lbs in all cylinders. I would like it higher, but shouldn't it still start just with lower power?

I still am having trouble with my 3510 . We have checked the timing, spark, and seems to be getting gas. We have very little vacuum at the distributor and not a lot of suction in the carb. It has fired some after timing adjustment, but it will not run. Looking for suggestions

I just got your replies. I will check both out

My machine was running a bit rough for awhile for before it quit. Normally it would get better after running for a short time. The last time a started it , it ran rough then just quit. I seem to have spark and the fuel pump ( in-line) is pumping fuel to the carb. I have even squirted fuel into...

Will do Thanks
