Thanks guys for the comments. The 149 was my father-in-laws and we got it when he passed away in 1992. The PO's say neither 782 block has a hole. I have not seen any visible damage but think both have thrown a rod. Plan to tear into the loose engine soon and see what it looks like inside. The disassembled tractor is SN 745048 and complete tractor SN is 740282. I need to find the SN list and see what years they were built. Will be doing a lot of looking at OCC for answers! Really appreciate the site and all you guys that contribute here.
