Steven: What do the casting codes tell you on both the engine and hydraulic unit, and for 55 and 56 in both cases? Z is 1954, A is 1956, B is 56 and C is 57. Are you sure the tractor had it's original engine when you started? Is it possible someone may have changed this tractor engine in the past 50 years? I'm not aware there were any changes during 300 or 400 production. However IH was famous for making changes near the end of a production run of a particular model. Just wondering if your 400 could be a late enough 56 model that some of the original was actually 450? The casting codes are that series of numbers and a letter, cast in place, and look like they have a blade type round head screw cast between digets. The letter tells year and numbers give you day and month casting was cast. The other numbers that can help are block and hydraulic unit part numbers, they will be about 3/4" high cast letters, 6 to 8 digets ending in R1, R2 or R3. I can't help you identify those part numbers but someone here at YT will know if you list them.
