Super 88 diesel

[Jerrys88]

I have a super 88 diesel with what is probably a non repairable head. What I was wondering, is are there heads from other tractors that will fit, or do I need a super 88 head only? Serial number 25387. Thanks

Define non repairable head. I need more details. Casting numbers will help as well. To keep it simple post both the Oliver and the Waukesha numbers.

Head numbers: 192002B, 100042A. Just purchased the tractor, made it run, bad exhaust hiss from number 4, checked for stuck valves, found nothing top of head spotless. Ran the engine for an hour to warm it up to see what else was wrong. Decided to pull the head and see if it was a bad seat or valve. Pulled the rocker cover and found water standing on the head and the oil has turned white. When I removed the head, numbers 3&4 where badly pitted, exhaust seats almost non-existant, cracks around injector chambers right down to exhaust seat. Cylinder walls are not pitted and the valves look new.

Sit tight here. Number one reason #3 &4 pit is because tractor sat outside a lot with nothing over the exhaust. Water on top of the head, how about a leaking soft plug? cracks in the head? I would worry if it was NOT cracked. Now the key thing is since you have the late head is to have it pressure tested by a good shop. If it does not leak get seats put in and e-mail me first so you get the valves set right on recession. It will make it start good. More questions send me a phone number. I would guess your head has about 10 cracks in it. J.
