 Topic: Coming soon.

1961 D17 over haul is coming as soon as the ford 5000 is sold. Searching the internet there at least two different kits. One place has one as a inframe kit and another one as a over haul kit.
What is the differance besides the prices.
there sure is a huge spread in the in frame kits also.

Only someone who doesn't know that type of engine would ever do an "in-frame" overhaul. It will need camshaft bearings and a rear seal to be done correctly and that means "out-of-frame".

Overhaul kit usually includes new pistons and sleeves from what I have seen. I agree with Dr. Allis. Definitely do the camshaft bearings while you have it apart.

dito: never done a tractor engine, but have done several vehicle engines. if the cylinder walls, bearings, etc. are worn, so is the cam bearings. and the rear seal is a no brainer, pull the engine out. a bit more work, but atleast when it's done, it's done right.

Call those selling and ask them what the difference is. Most don't know. I'll be happy to walk you through our kits and explain why I sell them.
