Massey Ferg 1260 needs a new engine block.

[horizonod]

I have a Massey Ferguson 1260 with a 3 cyl Iseki turbo deisel engine. The engine has a cracked block from a hard impact with the bucket. I guess these tractors weren't made for many years and I'm having trouble finding a block or engine. I understand the MF 1260 is very similar to the Iseki TK538. Does anybody know if these engine blocks would swap out or where a person might find a block, blown engine or parts tractor?

Man that makes me feel bad just reading about it. Good luck finding one...

Have you tried west kentucky tractor parts?

What code is on the block? I know they can be found, but I'm not sure what the price will be. Good luck. I found a head for my TU 1700 (3 cylinder Iseki), but at $400.00 plus shipping, it was expensive.

Give Bruce Laten ( TBN member name Bruce1966us, ) a call. He carries a large inventory of Japanese engines and in my opinion has the best prices in the U.S. Very trustworthy and knowledgeable. (931)492-0316 He's in Lynchburg TN and can usually offer shipping on complete engines for very reasonable prices. Five stars!:thumbsup:
On edit...just noticed this was an older thread....maybe he already has what he needs but this is still good info for anyone needing an engine for about compact tractor.
