Oil & Fuel TC 30 wont start

[Granduer]

Hi, Im new to the site so forgive me if I dont seem versed in lingo.

I have a TC30 that has run just fine tell a couple days ago. i started it and went about 100 feet and it just died. So i get off and look at the fuel filter which had some crud in but not bad. While looking at the fuel filter I noticed that the oil dip stick was slightly out. I said to myself what in the world. So I pulled it out and checked the oil and it was GREY in COLOR< first thought OH GREAT. So i drianed the oil flushed the engine per New Holland dealers direction and then filled with fresh oil. I tried to start the tractor but it would fire, so Ic hanged the filter and flush the fuel system. I bleed the fuel line to the injector pump but I still dont get but a spit of fuel from the injection pump. The Solenoid to injection pump is good also. AAny help with both of these issues is greatly welcomed.

No fuel from the bleed screw on the pump?

Did you have any luck with the problems? I lost track of your posts since you had identical posts in two different places.

It sounds like you have/had lots of fuel getting into the crankcase, which is usually related to the injector pump.

Well the Dealer told me oh its the head gasket so they pulled the head sent it to be checked. The head was good not cracked or worped. Head gasket, when taken apart they said look ok but replace it along with all normal parts. So, when they put it back together (for a sum of $1600) and started it and guess what it still got water in the oil, they then decided to do a pressure test on the engine (why they didn't do this first I don't know) and found that it was still leaking inside the BLOCK and told me that it most like was a bad casting from the factory. Called New Holland tech support line and was told that they will not do anything to help even though the tractor only has 260 hours on it. The dealer wants $7000 for new engine plus labor to put it in and the cost of the head work they did for a grand total of around $9000+. I only paid 12k for the tractor new. I WILL NEVER BUT NEW HOLLAND AGAIN AND I ALSO WILL NEVER USE BOONE TRACTOR IN SALEM VA AGAIN. Anyone know if I can sell the parts from tractor or the entire tractor on here for parts since its not worth fixing. Also does anyone know what I should ask for the tractor as it is . Thanks for your help.:

so if water gets into the oil, the radiator must be bubbling then if the block has a crack. Does she start now? To me the thing is worth fixing... just to bad you are so far away...
I'd be verifying what that dealer sez... I think you got hosed.
