I'm looking at a Ford 1910 4wd with FEL. It is advertised as having a cracked head and bent rod, but otherwise OK. I know parts can be expensive for these - any experience as to how much a rebuild would cost? I'm thinking the best case is a new rod, bearings, gaskets, etc. Worst case would be damaged block and crank, head cracked too badly to repair, basically a whole new long block. I don't mind doing the engine work myself as long as parts are available. Are there any compatible engines that could be retrofit?
The other issue is that it has ~5000 hours - that sounds like a lot for a machine in this size range. Good units with loaders seem to fetch $7-9K, but most of the ads I've seen have a lot fewer hours. Any idea how much the high hours would drop the value?
Thanks in advance,
