John Deere 435 tractor

[67stepside]

Hello,
I have a 1960 JD435 with the GM 2-53 diesel in it. My Dad bought it in 2007 and it was running at the time but was blowing white smoke out the exhaust. Dad passed away before he really got to deep into what the tractor needs. I know the crankcase filled with diesel after a short time of sitting around. I'd like to dig into it and see if I can get it running. Who makes a good engine kit for it? Injectors, seals, maybe rings. I know the supercharger lobes have a little damage. Again, not sure what it needs yet. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

can't help you with parts, but only 4626 were built and even less with certain features!! google it and maybe you have a Gem!

You should be able to get engine parts from a Detroit Diesel dealer/ service center. They may need to order them in as I doubt there is much call for 2-53 parts.

If you are thinking of putting rings in it, think liner kits with new pistons and rings. Injectors are normally separate from engine kits. you want the head to go to a shop that knows how to do diesels.

send your injectors to Garry Powers, Hendrich farm tractors!! Can't say enough of what he did for our JD80!
