Case Tractor 188d Project#30 IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!! Engine fire up!

54 weeks to get to this point! A LOT of learning, a number of stumbles, some frustration, but ultimately a nearly completed tractor. Gonna light it off!

You did a beautiful job...
I'm happy for you...
I'm looking into doing the same thing to the same kind of tractor..
If its not to personal...roughly how much did it cost to rebuild the engine???
Mine is blowing blowby oil all over my hood

I honestly didn’t keep track. It wasn’t cheap, as I wanted to be thorough. If you don’t have any lower end issues and just need to hone the sleeves and rearing it you can probably do it for under a grand.
