    Trailering a Super C

    Thanks to everyone for your advice. I didn't know the eye bolts weren't made for lateral loads. They [u:7bc12e96ea]were[/u:7bc12e96ea] definitely in my plans.

    Trailering a Super C

    Looking for some towing advice. I will be taking my newly rebuilt Super C to a local tractor show. This will be my first time having any tractor on a trailer (previously a race car long ago). The tractor has front wheel weights and frame weights, which limits what I can attach to the sides of...

    Super C Governor Lubrication

    I just finished rebuilding the governor for my 1953 Super C. I had the engine completely rebuilt and it has not yet run since it returned from the machine shop. Before I install the governor, would it be worthwhile to install a removable NPT pipe plug (or something) to use as a way to...

    Super c crank shaft pulley

    Is the engine in or out of the tractor? During a recent overhaul of my Super C with the engine mounted on a stand, I found the best way was to use a pulley installation tool. As an alternative, a threaded rod screwed into the crankshaft, using a heavy duty washer and a nut should pull the pulley...

    Governor Control Rod Spring

    Thanks for the information Bob. I didn't think about Messicks because it didn't come up in my search. Hard to believe that they are still available. BillB

    Governor Control Rod Spring

    In the process of rebuilding the engine on my Super C, I lost one of the equalizer springs(the short one) that fits over the governor control rod. It's listed as #8 on page 95 of the TC44B parts catalog. I don't see anything available on-line. Does anyone have a suggestion for a comparable...

    Super C, Clutch Pressure Plate

    As part of an engine overhaul I'm going to install a new clutch disc and pressure plate. The flywheel has been resurfaced. Looking for advice, so a few questions: Some of the discs I see advertised do not have any type of springs in the center section, just the friction material, a flat plate...

    Model M - New Piston Installation

    Thanks for your help PCSAW. Did see the marks you mentioned on the connecting rod and cap, and installed them facing the camshaft. No real markings on the .045 over pistons indicating the "front". I just used the part number stamped on the top as a reference, and installed both pistons in the...

    Model M - New Piston Installation

    I'm installing an overbore kit on an M, and am unsure of the orientation of the pistons and connecting rods. I did not take it apart. Do the notches in the big end of the rods made for the tabs on the bearing inserts face toward or away from the camshaft? Is there a "front" to the pistons...

    Super C Governor

    Hi, I'm rebuilding the governor on my Super C. There's a thrust ball bearing assembly that needs to be replaced. It's available from Case/IH, part # 43481D (bearing kit) for $44.00. I've seen a few similar bearing assemblies available on-line, in the $10.00 range from different bearing...

    Super-C Hydraulic Pump

    I do have a complete engine gasket set, but so far I haven't found anything that looks like it will fit. Thanks for the individual part number.

    Super-C Hydraulic Pump

    Hi, I removed the hydraulic pump as part of an engine overhaul. It's time to re-install the pump, but I don't remember what's used to make the seal between the pump and the engine housing. Is it a gasket, seal or "O" ring? Thanks

    Super C water pump

    This may be a question that answers itself, but I'm going to post in anyway. I'd really like some advice. The engine to my super C is in the machine shop for a complete rebuild. The water pump is original. It doesn't show any signs of leakage, and spinning it by hand does not produce any unusual...

    Super C Camshaft

    This is a question about horsepower. The IH service manual shows the total cam lobe lift for the 123, and C-135 engine before serial #100,501 as .2400. The C-135 engines above 100,501 and the C-153 have a total cam lobe lift of .2740. Comparing the journal diameters between the two camshafts...

    Super C Brakes

    I'm going to remove the brake housings for an inspection as part of a tractor overhaul. When removing the lower housing bolt (6:00 position), it is covered with heavy oil. To avoid a flood, do I need to drain the transmission before removing the brake housings? I've never had one apart before...
