[QUOTE="TooMuchTin, post: 123566, member: 22456"] Thank you for the analysis. It seems I have spent a lifetime proving your statement "throwing money at something and hoping it lasts, is a fast way to go broke!" I love going to farm machine fairs where 80 year old machines look and run great. And do their job! But I have spent a lot on vintage cars and ended up with unfinished projects. My machine is far from perfect. I purchased it from the origional owner, a foundry company that used it to move sand. About 3,500 hours on it now. Pins are bad. The good is the new hydraulic pump and work I just paid for and the new head I paid for. The tires are new and the machine is ok. I guess the cost and availability of a replacement short block will play a big roll. And what would be a good replacement and for how much? [/QUOTE]
