[Farmall] Farmall 504 diesel engine

[riv5urug at adinet.com.uy]

 Yes you must be very carefull when timing them, i saw a crankshaft broken
in a FORD 6600 tractor because balancer shafts out of timing.

 And i have been told of a couple of British 784 with crankshaft problem
because the balancers out of timing, over here.
