[QUOTE="MrNoo, post: 5211044, member: 2767"] Lol!!! That's what I did, disassembly and assembly all myself. I take the view that you've gone to the trouble of splitting it and stripping it all down, best go through it properly and then it should last another 40-50 years. And when you take that view you end up replacing quite a few parts while you're in there, e.g., trust bearing on clutch, input seals, spigot bearing and on and on. Oil pumps etc am sure you could get away with the old one but it'd be a shame to have a bearing pick up 40 hrs down the line due to a tired pump. I dare say you could rebuild it for 500 but, it'd be just a set of shells, rings, hone or glaze bust the bores, lap the existing valves in, clean up the head with some emery, fresh gasket and off you go. It is possible but is largely dictated by the state of the engine once you get it apart. My 3.152 engine was outwardly fine, I did detect a very slight "knock" on start up which quickly went once pressure was up but when I stripped it down, the big ends were down to the copper/brass on two journals and had ever so slightly marked the crank, I dare say I would have got away with emery on the crank and some shells but we ended taking 10 though off the lot, job was then done right. Do it then forget about it!! And one TEF rebuild I did, I didn't do the clutch input shaft seal (it costs circa £2-50 odd) and every time I use it, it weeps oil out the clutch bell housing hole, it pisses me off because i know I have to split the whole tractor just to replace a £2-50 seal that I stupidly didn't do when I had it apart originally!!
