Stan: What I can tell you at this hour of the morning. When I got the 140 two years ago it was not running. The previous owner had screwed up the complete electrical system. I had to replace points, condencer, cap and rotor, none of them were even the right ones not even close. Then generator, regulator, battery, amp gauge and even some wiring. Battery was in backwards. As I got the tractor going, I'm certain he tried his hand at valve adjusting as well. He had the tractor in a heated warehouse ten years and never got it going. Seeing how the valves were set, I,m just as happy he never did get it started.

My neighbor and I went to pick up tractor . We took points, condenser, rotor, cap, heavy 12 volt battery and fresh gas. Within 10 min we had it going well enough to load on his trailer

So one of the first items I got into after getting it home was valve setting. Of course one of the first things I noticed was change in head bolt pattern from any other offset Farmall I'd ever worked on. The only manual I have speciffically for the 140 is an IT service manual, which suggests the change came at C-123 engine serial number 65001. In reviewing my 130 and 140 tractor and engine serial numbers, and knowing the uses made of C-123 engines, it made sence to me the change probably occured with the model change to 140 and 240.

Since that time I never gave it another thought until this discussion. I doubt if I ever have to as I rather doubt this tractor has seen 500 hour mark yet on hours of service. I will try and find the numbers you ask for. My shop is not heated so, I'm not taking anything apart.
