    ih 706

    Just my opinion, but I would check compression, valve lash, ignition system, fuel system and charging system before I would overhaul anything. Not as many engines need overhauls that are thought to need one. A proper going through can solve many, many drivability/operating issues. Best of luck.

    TA To use or Not to use????

    Use it, as was stated. And keep it adjusted, particulatily on the mechanical operated ones. The 06' and 86' series had a hydraulic operated TA. They do not free wheel down hill. The mechanicaly operated TA's DO freewheel down hill. I use mine as described all the time; I have (1) 560 that...

    460 gasser overhaul-still some issues

    If the manifolds are really bad, and leaky, all the carb adjusting in the won't make a difference. I am thinking you have what we call in the fuel injected world "unmetered air"; the engine is sucking in air after the carb. Just a guess! New manifolds and gaskets should really help! Be sure...

    fuel price

    It is funny, I keep thinking "Well, a diesel engine is roughly 30% more efficient than a gas engine, and the price spread is about 30%" . Probably me just being a conspiracy theorist, but it is a rather handy idea. Jet fuel is pretty much kerosene, and we commercially and militarily use alot...

    dumbest question ever posted

    I just lost the fuel cap from my Fox Super D; I took it off, stuck a calibrated stick in the tank,and then started to finish chopping. Noticed it gone after 1/2 round. I walked that whole field; now the chisel plow has buried it! Sad day! :(

    Using Quick Start IH 504

    Does that engine not use glowplugs? I though they did; you should not need any ether if; 1.)The battery is in good shape, holds proper charge, and the battery leads are the correct gauge. 2)Compression is good and valves/pump are adjusted properly. 3)the glowplug system work even a little bit...
