    conquest rebuild

    New to the forum and hoping to get some questions answered, I picked up a conquest today for $2500, it has 43hrs on the tach, but the motor has sever blow by, thinking it has washed cylinder walls or broken rings, the previous owner had it all tore apart, he didn't know what year it was and was hoping some one could help with identifying it. With the motor out and is there any upgrades i should be doing to it? I dont turn wrenches for a living but i wrench on enough stuff to be comfortable enough to rebuild engines or transmissons.

    serial number CB15087
    Model v894-38

    thanks
    Josh

    Service or replace front chains and the front axle bearings and flanges if needed. Way easier with the engine out. Also if you need an alternator kit now would be the time to put one on. Also check the engine fan belt. Good luck on the rebuild. The Conquests are great machines.

      Before you pull the engine be sure that the pushrods are still in place on both cylinders, common for the FDs to kick a push rod when valves get sticky. Compression should be roughly 140-180 dependent on valve adjustment and gauge.

      Joe Camel never does that.

        It has a denzo alternator. Found out it’s a 1998. The motor is mostly in one piece. So it shouldn’t be to hard to figure out what’s wrong with it. The previous owner said it had a lot of blow by. But if it kicked a push rod that do it as well as washed cylinder walls or rings. With only 43 hrs on it it’s sat for awhile.

              In Nebraska. The railroad used it for pushing snow and hauling people around. I think they figured out there not a vehicle designed for personnel transport. As there is a blade with it and the mounts are on it yet.
