    Finishing up IH 560

    I asked for advice on my IH 560 on several occasions and found good advice. Thank you for those that responded. I have just recently finished restoring the old beast and just wanted show the results. :) Thanks again. I think it turned out pretty good for doing it myself.

    Farmall M - fuel or timing problem

    I have put a timing light on it but it does not have degree display. I would guess about 25 degrees advance. I am just using regular 87 octane unleaded fuel (no pinging). I have Autolites in right now but am open to suggestions. I do believe it is too lean, because I can back the fuel screw...

    Farmall M - fuel or timing problem

    Thank you for your help. I am questioning the venturi, and my next step was going to be go back to the 25. As for the dist. I will make that change if needed. It just seems like this tractor falls on its face when I try to pull it down. Thank you again.

    Farmall M - fuel or timing problem

    CHADS - what is the best way to identify which distributor this unit has? As far as I can tell it is the orignal.

    560 running hot

    Thank you for the advice. I have a waterpump coming and will install it, more or less to let me feel more confident. Also the temp gauge is in the process also. Should I be able to see good flow or is it pretty well concealled?

    560 running hot

    I recently bought a 560 gas and just running it around the lot and tinkering with it, the block felt rather warm. I removed the thermostat and found it to be stuck. I replaced it but it still seems to heat up plenty. When I look in the radiator, I hardly see any movement. How much movement...

    m carburator

    I am very interested in all the comments you get from this question. I just completed a ring job, new valves, springs and carb rebuild on my 49 M. When I restarted the tractor for the first time, it also runs similiar to the one discribed, but it will ONLY run smooth with run smooth with the...

    49 W9 rear wheel removal

    I have 49 W9 that has been weighted to the gills on the rear wheels sometime in its life. We have removed about 1500# from the outside of the wheels and there is about 600# on the inside of each rear left. We can get the right rear wheel to come off but not the left. We have tried heat...

    49 M valves

    Thank you and I have explored the other head options. I will probably get this head worked over, carb done and go from there. I will probably pull the W9 a couple of times this year. I did once last year and purely ran out of traction. I had to keep backing out the throttle to keep the...

    49 M valves

    Thank you again, I will try to look him up. Around here we still have a few months until season really starts, and sorry I don't have a pulling truck, tractors are expensive enough. Several of the guys I work with do pull trucks, one of which goes all over the US. Several of them also pull...

    49 M valves

    THANK YOU FOR THAT MUCH. I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED I HAVE ALREADY CONVERTED TO ELECTRONIC IGNITION AND THAT HAS HELPED. AS FOR RUNNING OUT OF POWER OR TRACTION FIRST, I HAVE HAD BOTH HAPPEN. I USUALLY LOOSE TRACTION FIRST AT 5500# BUT IT CAN GO EITHER WAY ON HEAVIER WEIGHTS DEPENDING ON THE...

    49 M valves

    Trying to get a few more hp out of my 49 M that I use for the weekend tractor pulls. I am going to have the head redone so that it will breath a little better. Can you put in larger valves? And where can you get them? It does have 4" step pistons. I am not trying to go overboard with this...
