I know a guy that should have what you need and can tell you just what to do. Steve Smith, runs a tractor repair and tire shop and has a IH tractor salvage yard and also sells aftermarket tractor parts.
He has a couple of pulling tractors, pro stock and has tractor pulling parts for IH tractors. 270-247-2219 Mayfield KY. He knows IH tractors inside out.

I agree with Larry,

Since you're gonna ruin it anyway, just get one out of a salvage yard.

What you can do depends on your local rules. Most farm stock rules limit the turbo to a standard 3LM with a stock apearing pump. Some of the guys I pull with just turn up the pump for the pulls, and back down again to farm with. With a 3LM and a good pump, well over 300 HP is possible, and you won't hurt a thing. Don't mess with a single disk clutch- put in a two disk and be done with it. Now if you get involved with a group that pays no attention to the rules, or don't have any, much money will be spent to keep up. I occasionally pull with a group that runs road gear and calls it farm stock. Probably takes 600-700 HP to compete. Not farm stock in my opinion. For maintenance, it depends on how much fuel ends up in the oil. My A pump doesn't do too bad, so I change the oil at the beginning of the season. I probably make only 30 passes per year. Part for IH's are everywhere- pulloff.com is a good source for parts and info. Good luck-

Thanks Larry ill for sure give him a call.. I don"t want anything too extreme just to fix one up and turn it up some.. I"m all about puttin old iron back into use.. I"ve been lookin all over for a deal on one lately..

Toolz that's exactly the answer I was lookin for.. I need to make 300-400 reliable hp.. and swap the t04 for the 3lm and turn the pump up.. now should I upgrade the pump or is it possible to make good power with the stocker?

I'm no expert on the stock pump, but I don't think you will get much more than 200 or so out of it. The 13mm model 100 pumps are common, and I think the built ones will put out close to 400cc, which will easily make 400hp. A set of injectors and bigger lines to match should be all you need.
