I would recommend a good repair manual there's a lot of good ones that do a good job also it helps having good mechanical skills Since its diesel there's alot more to those than a gas engine good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R190 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 from some of the crap they drag into my shop after watching you-tube videos to be fixed I wonder what you can gain by most of them.There is some real winners out there There are a few really informative ones also.

rcb Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I don't know of any. I've been thinking about this myself. Since I've dumped a bunch of cash in the 560 recently, been thinking about rebuilding it before adding the turbo. seems a bit spendy... might even be cheaper to go dt360, but I'm not there yet. The 282 treats me pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the lack of head bolts and then dropping the pan and seeing the lack of over-building on the bottom end, I get depressed.................wishing it was a D310 built like a brick Sh*T house.

Yes definitely making sure the sleeves are above deck 2 to 3 thousands also torquing the head bolts correctly and retorquing them on those engines is critical plus the injectors on those can be a pain in the butt other than that they are pretty simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great head bolts at a good price compared to aftermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustred Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 i dont know what so hard about them i have rebuilt them from a bare block. very easy to work on. pay close attention to the head . make sure valve protrusion is good and you do the torqueing is 3 sequences and a final check and then a retorque after running it an hr. an engine is an engine.

I would never own another just too many issues with ours. If you plan on working it hard or pulling it, good luck. I think they would maybe make a good auger tractor or something light duty.

Yes, Cat has them..........I have the part numbers someplace, but by the time I dig, someone will put them up. On mine my brother was having trouble getting the long ones from Cat if I remember right, I ended up putting a set in from Lawson which in their number system is supposed to be on par with Cat's..............So far no issues. I guess I can't rail on them too bad, but from a company that built a built a line of great powerplants, that series of engines is depressing compared to the rest. I had the tail twisted on mine pretty good, had the IH head bolts stretch and I lost the gasket.............After taking the head off, finding the power assemblies in good shape, I put a new gasket on after checking everything, new bolts, plopped the head back on it and set it at 65 hp...............So far no more issues and with 2 group 31's under the hood, big cables, good starter and glow plugs, atleast when a kid walks by with a ice cream cone it will still start................Actually starts really good actually.

I’ve owned the tractor for 30 years. Have zero complaints about 282’s. Like Tip says group 31’s and good cables and it starts every time. Just picked up a spare engine.

Not sure what the difference was or why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaFarmall Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Murphy's motor service sells the arp stud kit for them, and if I recall, they are $219 plus shipping. Have to know if all long, or long and short head bolts. Only ones I have ever worked on were long and short bolts. I think, seven of each. They are economical engines for light duty hay work, but I think their short comings are in the torque department. I had one in my 560, and a gas in my 666. The 666 had blowby, and still had more power than the 560. Mine never gave my any trouble though, till the bigger pump and turbo hit it.. ??

Thanks. The head from this one is going in first. Then I’ll have it on hand if I get any nasty surprises when I do the 560’s head gasket. First time I’ve ever had the head off.
