    Are M and c175 lifters interchangeable?

    Almost........ But not quite. The reason the push tube sat higher when I compared the two on the bench is that the DT466 lifter has a smaller Well concave radius at the bottom inside of the lifter. The c169/c175 push tube does not sit into the well, rather it rides on the edge of the well and...

    Are M and c175 lifters interchangeable?

    I looked on the shelf, and had several of the lifters that are in the link. They also fit the DT466, which in a former life we were required to rebuild often. The lifters fit the c169/c175 bore just fine. The dimension between the face and the pushrod contact surface is a bit thicker, which...

    Are M and c175 lifters interchangeable?

    Folks, I am rebuilding a couple of the utilities (A 300U and a 350U) and several of my lifters look very rough. They are either pitted deeply on the base, or have enough wear on the sides that the lifter is a bit loose in the engine bore. I am aware that the h lifters would work, but I found...

    antifreeze

    Ellis, I use the test strips, and have also periodically had labs (such as Fluid Life or Polaris) run a test to back up my test strip efforts. So far, I have not found a problem with Ethylene Glycol type antifreeze that couldn't be addressed, usually as simple as adjusting DCA levels. My formal...

    350U IH filter

    Greg, in addition to the good intel ih560 gave you, and since you asked about both transmission and hydraulic systems, you need to consider: * Does the tractor have a T/A, and is it currently working? In such case I would advise that you do a lot of reading on this sub forum before...

    IH 350 U Carb issue?

    +1, I have had the top of the sediment bowl (the little protruding nib ABOVE the threads) get clogged with rust flakes on both 300u and 350u. There is a screen available for this, but my cheapskate solution has been two part. On the 350u I unscrew the bowl every couple of years and flush...

    anti freeze

    It is quite straightforward if you are interested in the chemistry and can do some basic math. Just go buy one of the test strip kits. They are available from ebay, or large automotive warehouses. You can purchase additives to adjust every deviation from ideal chemistry. The Ethylene Glycol...

    Woods mower belt

    Grandpa, which Woods mower are you using? I have kept two Woods 72" finish PTO mowers running for around 34 years now. Even though I know industrial power transmission backwards and forwards, this is the one application that I absolutely refuse to use an aftermarket belt. I have one deck...

    Interesting, I hadn't considered Yarbrough, but they have done some very challenging work for me in the past, and always did a great job. Thanks for the lead!

    Motor machine shop advice- Lubbock to Springfield

    Old, Understood. I drive by the Oreilly shop all the time when I am in Springfield, so they may get the work. In days past I used Monarch in Springfield, downtown just behind Caspers chili parlor. They were a great old line shop, doing lots of tractor and industrial engine machine work, but...

    OT: Classical Music

    I endured an exceptionally long stint of classical music education. For some reason, I still enjoy it, but am hopelessly provincial in my tastes. Some of my favorites that haven't been mentioned, and although they wouldn't all be considered strictly classical they are in a similar vein; Samuel...

    Best way to pop off the lettering

    You have gotten some great pointers, and when I can save them the way Jim outlines, that would be my first choice. On all of the hundred series I have worked on (the limit of my experience), the very delicate pins were always silver soldered to the back of the stainless emblem. The barrel...

    Crankcase lube for 300

    Shawn, critical to clarify- Does your 300 have a Torque Amplifier? If so, you should stick with Hytran or an equivalent, and there will be plenty of folks along soon to tell you all about it. . If not, then your options are pretty open. I would also post approximately where you are, so we know...
