That's a good reliable engine. I figured with the 10 hole budds it would have a 478 or something along that line.rzucker: It has an International 345 v8 gas engine in it.

Ain't that the truthNothing like being on an off ramp and having the clutch drop under your foot.
Had that happen once coming out of Seattle. Lucky it was just a broken rod and I was empty, did the "start it in gear and try not to stop" thing to get home.Ain't that the truth

It only takes one p!$$ ant to screw up everythingAwhile back I spent 3 hours under the floor of a D-10 Cat dozer fixing linkage adjustments that some idiot played with thinking he knew more than the Cat guys that designed the thing. He should have just left stuff alone and replaced the worn out heim joints. You can compensate for wear in one direction... but not two.
The paint was a dead giveaway. :avidThat's who ordered it new, Noel.

If I only had a buck every time something like that got me. Grr.Ran into a snag with the out side rails, they didn't get the sheet square in the press brake and the lips came out tapered. Sent them back and their making new ones.
So that put a big stifle in my progress. But there are other things I can put my attention to while waiting.

That's a Cool IH mowingman ! Pretty reliable & ready when ya need it . Better hang on to it .Don't mean to highjack your discussion, but here is a photo of our company tow truck. As you can tell, we don't have much of a budget to work with at our school district. Believe it or not, it gets used a couple of times/month. Starts right up every time. View attachment 1729
