I could readily see the dealers position, 7 year old 504 with 3 point hitch and 1,500 hours was worth a lot more on his lot than a 20 year old 300 with 15,000 hours and on it's 3rd set of pistons and sleves.

I had a Chevy Vega with that aluminum block and they had a lot of problems with those engines.
There was a machine shop not far from where I worked. The owner had a brother that worked at APG as a test driver and he happened to be our test driver on a test vehicle. I was telling him about the Vega and he said his brother was sleeving those engines and I pulled the engine
and took it to him. It sure made a difference
with that engine. It never used oil. Hal
PS: It's like summer here today.

Nice and mild here this morning also, 54 degrees F, been having a run of nice sunny days. It's been warmer than usual for here.

I was just out and killed two birds with one stone, so to speak. My drivway is about 400', east side field is lower than drivway, west side field is higher than drivway. Two years ago west side was in corn as it was again this year. Corn stalks from behind combine caused snow to pile in 2' deep two years ago. With corn stalks holding it, just about impossible for 130 to push the snow back. This morning I took Super A with Woods mower and mowed down 12 rows of corn stalks. Those cobs make a lot of noise under the belly mower, plus quite heavy work on the mower, however the corn material cleaned underside of mower deck as though it had been sand blasted. I was dreading cleaning that deck. 30 min. of mowing saved 2 hours of scraping and brushing. Now I'm ready for snow, and it wont hurt my feelings if snow blade gets rusty.

There should be a small machined flat on the block somewhere with the displacement information and a serial number. It'll be "C???" for the displacement, followed by a 3 to 6 digit number that is the serial number.

Your Case/IH dealer should have parts for this engine. Hal
