Hi folks, thanks so much for so many replys. Had a dissapointing day. The tractor was at a local scrap yard and they were to hold it for me to pick up today. They forgot to mark it sold so by the time I got to it today the remaining sheet metal, wheels, heavy duty fast hitch, shifter, starter, generator, intake manifold, carb, steering shaft, distributor and some misc bits are gone. I still picked it up as the engine is a 4cyl series diesel(starts on gas/runs on diesel). I have a similar engine in my TD-9 dozer and a larger version in a TD-14. I did get it running using my Fordson Dexta pto and a reversing gearbox connected to the IH via the pto. This provided the power needed to start it in diesel mode. I talked to the guy who pulled most of the parts and can get many of them back - for a price of course. He thought it was a 450 or possibly 400 series. It has the 3 spool hydraulic controls and flat belt drive. Even though the site was having problems with the photo section, I went through the photo ads and did see that some tractors were not equipped with the atachment points on the front corners of the nose that this tractor has. The shifter arm was on the left side of the top cover. The brake covers are cast not sheet metal. The steering shaft went over the engine - through the radiator - and into the top of the front end.
Any ideas what it is? More questions?
Thanks, Ron
