2210d has died

jackqm · Mar 18, 2017

So my old 2210d finally had a major failure. Was running good and in the middle of tearing out old concrete when I noticed the oil light flicker a few times. Stopped and checked oil, added a little and went back at it. A few minutes later it flickered again then engine acted like it was under heavy load with no load present, a couple seconds later engine froze.
I'm guessing a main bearing froze.
I have had the old girl for about 14 years, has koyker backhoe and koyker 80 fel, been a great little tractor.
Any opinion on whether it's worth fixing, or time to go pick up the new Branson 3520h I have been drooling over?
Not sure what it would be worth as is selling it outright? Heck not even sure what it would be worth if I went ahead and did a rebuild?

Thanks

If it didn't get the crank I would think it would sure be worth a rebuild. Would have to be cheaper than the drooled over tractor. I guess until she is opened up nothing could be for sure.

The loader and backhoe already fit. Unless you buy a unit with them already attached you might have to do some rework. .

I would do a rebuild for sure... Where are you located.

I am in Eastern Oregon.
Yes the tractor I am looking at has a hoe and FEL already on it, much stronger on both accounts then the koyker.
I threw it on craiglist to see if there was any bites and looks like I may have a buyer... So will see how that goes.

Sorry to hear about your loss...Let us know how everything turns out. I agree, if crank is ok I would rebuild as well. If the Craig's list guy doesn't buy it send me a PM.

I would at least drop the pan and have a look. It might have just spun a $20 rod bearing, also would put a socket on the crankshaft nut and see if it will turn over.
