1060 runs finally

[jon f mn]

Got the new combine home Saturday so Sunday I worked on getting it running. Checked everything over good and .ade sure it was getting gas and cranked it over. Fired a couple times then clunk, solid stop. I backed the engine some and tried again, but same thing. Turned it a full turn backwards and sa.e thing that way, thats when I knew I had a serious issue. So I spent the rest of sunday pouting. Monday morning I found I want dine pouting yet so spent most of the morning drinking coffee on the patio and feeling sorry for myself. Lol. Monday after noon I decided to pull the heads and this is what I found.

The valve was just laying on the pistons and there is a small nick in the piston, but im not worried about it.

This is very old long term damage, the valve stem was rotted almost through. Im guessing the head was bad from factory and was letting antifreeze into that port and hitting the valve. It wasnt getting into the combustion chamber because there is no damage there, just the valve seat and valve stem and major rust in that port.

Im lucky I had 2 rebuilt heads on my parts combine so I took those off and put them on.

A couple pics beside my 1160

Here is a short video of the start up. Still running a bit rough here as I had put oil in the cylinders and it needed to clean that out.

Start up after new heads

The 318 V8 and 225 slant six were great motors from Chrysler that Case used. Our's had the 225 and never a problem. Had a Dodge car with the 318, and had to pull the motor because a freeze plug at the firewall began leaking. Too close to the firewall to work on. Found a second freeze plug, just inside, that a factory worker had left.

There isn't a sweeter, steadier, economical power plant than the famed Chrysler LH 318. When I was checking on the job the 1665 was doing, I'd have Chris steer it down the field, and I was walking around it checking everything. The smooth purr, the governor doing it's job was pure music to my ears when I got around to the R/R and listened to the dual exhaust. Sweet!!

And to think Chrysler sold the 318's to Case for $100.00 a piece.

Jon does the hour meter work?

Jon does the hour meter work?

No hour meter, they were optional

 

[Don Rudolph]

Case powered by Mopar. Can it get any better than this?

 

[Ande]

Yep they were

 

[RBnWA]

Yeah powered by a Ford lol. Couldn't resist Don. Often wondered why they didn't put an 830 engine or 930 engine in the bigger ones. RB
