Thanks CNKS for your post and everything mentioned on this site is valuable. I am totally new to the C and Super C tractors. Just am looking to acquire one for a restoration project but want it to be correct. I just feel something is wrong with that S code engine block in a late 1951 SC where everything else is W coded. I have a restored H and M and everything is coded properly so I believe they are original tractors. Just can't get too excited about a tractor with the wrong engine block and don't know if it could even have the 123 cu. in. components anyway. Don't know if they used thinner wall sleeves to increase displacement or if they used a different block boring to accomodate standard wall sleeves. Just trying to pick up a "learning experience" from this venture. Didn't think of jotting down the block casting number until I was well on the way home.
In looking at Guy Fay's "IH Tractor Data Book" it indicates the 123 cu. in. engine was only used in some 1954 Super A's and AV's and are designated in his book with a -1. So if his book is correct, and I have no reason to believe it isn't, the Super A series still had the 113 cu. in. engine until 1954. Don't know what the Super components might have been unless it was in the pistons or cylinder head as the Supers had a slightly higher compression ratio while retaining the same bore (3") and stroke (4"). I feel the tractor was truly a Super C as it had the usual identifying features, disc brakes, water pump, curved or dogleg pedals, etc.. Thanks again for your posts and I'll work through the threads that Stan sent along. Hal
