Hey Cole a few years ago we had a 2013 290 case magnum with the same exact problem. Mid seeding it started to over heat and we noticed low coolant and high oil level. Next day the dealership came out and drained the oil and put in this additive that swells the o rings and prevents coolant getting in the oil. (More of a bandaid fix) but that allowed us to finish seeding with it and ended up trading tractors. Hope you find a fix to it and can get in the fields soon. Good luck this year!

So happy to finally see Roman in Cornstar gear!

Your dad is running a 16 row planter. That's not chopped liver, he can plant 250 acres a day with support from 1 guy keeping him full. 4 days and beans are done. 4 days and corn is done.

Hey Cole, a good machine shop should be able to machine the block square, machine out the sleeves and re-sleeve the block and re-assemble for far below new cost. I suggest keeping the engine around for a swap down the line if you still buy a new one. It'll be money well spent when your 340's new engine gets tired.

With it running and getting hot apparently under some load with antifreeze in the oil all the internal parts are junk. He’s better off getting a complete new short block at a minimum. When you go that deep into a tractor you don’t cut corners. There is too much labor cost to have to do it twice.

Hey Cole, I have a Cummins in one of my tractors. It dropped it's coolant into the oil. Turned out a previous owner hadn't used corrosion inhibitor in the coolant and some frost plugs in the head under the tappet cover had corroded through. This allowed coolant through a frost plug to come out on top of the head and then to just flow down through a pushrod cavity into the sump. We had the head off before we found the problem but we could have repaired it by just removing the tappet cover. Could be worth checking out. Alan from NZ

Glad for the transparency.

Love it when Roman “makes it up” with confidence.

Main issue with those FPT engines is believed to be casting sand left in the block from when they were manufactured which comes loose and moves to the liners, this then due to engine vibration rubs on the o-rings between said liners and block and destroys the o-rings and causes an internal coolant leak into the sump. In some scenarios, whilst destroying the o-rings it has also rubbed into the block and made it too rough for the o-rings to seal. Then you’re up for a whole new engine.

We had something similar happen to our John Deere because they decided to use inferior parts in their engines. Fortunately, the dealer tech caught it and had time to repair before we really needed it and didn't have to rent another one. Unfortunately, it was about a $30k bill and it's not easy to just swap planting tractors with today's technology and different setups.

Cole, i really like the realistic forecasting of the weather, as it is so variable during planting season. Great job explaining. Hopefully you will have a successful crop year, prayers to your family and all farmers that feed the world. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏AMEN.

Maybe shine the the hood and put bigger tires on the i-h

Doesn’t sound like Daddy Cornstar really wanted to change out the seed, to see if the fertilizer trial works. He just wanted to keep planting. Love the guys.

We have a long block for that sitting in our hangar for that very problem. When ours went bad we just had the original block pulled and a new long block from Case put in. Took the original block, had it rebuilt and it has been sitting in our CC'd equipment hangar as a backup in case it happens again.

Man. The 340. Can't catch a break.

My grandfather was a farmer and he told me that farmers are the biggest, most hopeful gamblers of alĺ

My understanding is more water soluble fertilizer will not benefit yield, may actually cause yield drag. May cause them to be top heavy and more susceptible to heat, low moisture, and high winds due to lagging root development in early stages. It will be interesting to see. I am having a similar issue this year... I applied extra N and K for spring and my brassicas would have died if not for extra irrigation and rain... I got good early development but after fruiting they just lagged and now I am fighting to keep the bugs off till they all finish.

Well that is no good. Hope you find a work around and case fixes it for you. You all are amazing.

Thank you. Hope for rain but only enough not to much.

The 340 situation happened to me also a few years ago , and it was also my planter tractor , what I ended up doing till we installed a new block was going too CNH and getting a few jugs of coolant conditioner , it will probably seal the coolant leak in the engine till your done planting, well worth the try before doing anything else

Sorry about the problems Cole, could be a simple head gasket but antifreeze in the in all bearings is not good, we had a John Deere combine I believe it was a 9670 I could smell antifreeze,from exhaust, that was a terrible harvest season they had to replace the engine, and it was snowing oh man it was horrible I think it was around Christmas time they had to put a new engine in it, so it happens to any manufacture doesn’t matter what color!!

FYI ... your mix mate gives coordinates to your exact location; might want to blur it out going forward

The O rings are probably bad on the sleeves. Take the oil pan off and pressurize the cooling system and look at the sleeves, you may see water dripping off the bottom of the sleeves. You may get by with replacing the O rings.

I'm in South Central Iowa. We've had several tornadoes and several rain events, just long enough to soak in. During the day, it's been sunny with a perfect breeze. The last 2+ years, we haven't had the rain we've desperately needed. With all the inches of rain in the last 3+ weeks, we're nearly caught up to even out the moisture. Anything after the next week will be for this year. Only a farmer would understand that word salad. But, it's great to have a nearly normal spring. Only 2 days of storms. It cooled slightly, but not nearly as low as expected. 😊
