Posted April 23, 201510 yr My stepdad sent me this picture from work. I'm not sure what failed but it was only 100k for a replacement engine. Yes that is a pile of metal in the oil pan. Edited April 23, 201510 yr by Buzzinhalfdozen
April 24, 201510 yr With 500hp it would probably be one of the big articulating tractors like a 9500 series. I can see it costing $100k for the engine and all labor involved, a tractor like that new would probably cost around $300-400K. I just got done a couple weeks ago putting a used cummins ISX in a truck at work after the original lost oil pressure and took #3 liner and piston out as well as the crank and cams, and it cost about $15k just for the engine(original engine was rebuild-able but would have cost more than a used one to do it), and to get a reman engine from cummins would have been $30k, and thats all without any labor added in at all. the prices of these newer engines is crazy.
