The farm that I work for has one last IH tractor a 1256 and now the crankshaft if broken, not sure of the damage yet there arent any holes in the block but it needs some attention. Should I fix it, part it out, or does anybody want to buy it "as is".
 
1256 tractors are still very popular.sell it as is.Or sell it fixed...Do not scrap/part it!I have one,love it.I would buy yours if it were closer.BTW,been plowing with mine today,yesterday....Still have maybe 100 acres yet to do.

If it broke a crank if i was doing the rebuild the block would go in for a LINE BORE ( notice i said LINE BORE ) NOT a line HONE . If they can not BORE it find someone that knows what they are doing . and also if it was a lot closer i would be interested .

by the way my boss is taking offers to buy it as is. just remember it is not my call, Im just the hired wrench that usually works on deere
