I don’t have a ready source, but there are two completely different engines used based on build date. The original non-emissionized version and the Tier I late model engine.

it's not good at all to store a tractor outside:shocked: and you must have had an improper mix of antifreeze and water, so it froze and cracked the block!.

Usually when they freeze it just pushes out the freeze plugs. I would think head/gasket issues. Does it have a hole that you can see?

"forget the Shibaura engine, it's not worth it" ????
Now.....there is some crappy advice !
really? read the link!. and also, try to find an engine!. these tractors are being parted out, rather than sold as complete working tractors, because of the excessive price of parts, that is, IF you can buy them!.. a quote " Ford built 3 completely different 2110 tractors in 3 different eras. The first generation was a 4 cyl tractor built 1963-64. Second was a 3 cylinder low center of gravity (LCG) tractor built from 1965-74. The third generation 2110 was a 4 cylinder Shibaura (Japan) tractor built from 1983-86. The reason I mention this is that the parts are completely different, and the parts prices very different. Parts for Shibaura built tractors are quite expensive. You have to be careful when looking for parts, because obviously you may not be getting correct parts.

It is my understanding Japanese tractor manufacturers have stopped supporting 1980's vintage tractors. Parts are scarce and very expensive. For example, a new crankshaft (from NH dealership) for your tractor is just over $3K.

Tractorhouse.com has 25 ea. 2110's listed in salvage in their 'dismantled machine' section. Many of them are Shibaura built. I suspect that most of these tractors were salvaged because owners decided it was not worth repairing whatever was wrong with them. You may be able to find a decent running engine in salvage? I don't know."
