What year RTU should I get for parts for 1951 RTU?

[51rtu]

One of the blocks was allowed to freeze and busted. Need block/jug and good carb? What is a fair price for parts machine and fair running tractor. What years would be good for parts? Thanks.

You have the same problem, with one as I do. I have a RTU that had the exact same thing happen to it but other wise is all there even have a new gasket set with my machine and it is for sale

51RTU,

Any jug from any R or Z tractor will fit just fine. The jugs are all are part #RE(5)101A and the only differences are in the stroke and the piston compression height. Twin City and MM recycled parts forever. Later on, MM updated the part number to #10D1462 with no changes to the part.

Any TSX30 or TSX36 one inch carb would be correct for an EE engine. The TSX36 carb showed up after engine number 402201 rolled by, but the only real difference in the carbs is the standard Borg-Warner crap of changing one little part to cheapen something up. In this case, they changed the choke shaft very slightly.

Happy hunting.

There is a '48 ZTN on BigIron dot com in Colorado. I believe the auction ends in late January.

I normally go to BigIron dot com and type in "m" then click on moline in the search box an all the auctions with moline anywhere in them come up and this one is the third one. But here is the link http://www.bigiron.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?bigiron6/90134. It is in Wiggins, CO. and the auction ends 1/23/2013.
