Need a 40 H block or ????

Posted by SKK - Big Red Fan on January 04, 2007 at 19:31:38 from (139.55.150.95):

Finally decided to pull the 300 engine out of the early 1940 H I bought and put it into our 47 to use as our daily work tractor; live hyds.

Now I need to come up with an accurate replacement block to reasonably match the original 1940 engine. I could overhaul the 1947 engine, it is shot, but would like to put the early tractor back to as close as original condition as possible.

The original motor "blew-up" according to the guy I purchased it from and is long gone.

I believe the 1940 might actually have been a true "gasoline" model. Serial number around 14,+++ something. Rear gear housing has shift pattern cast into it. Seat is square tubing held down by the one bolt, according to brother-in-law, but it looks very weird, like extra stuff attached. I didn't pay much attention when I picked up.

So, what is the best way to proceed here? I haven't gotten hold of one of Guy's books yet.

Are there cutoff casting dates on the blocks and heads?

Thx skk
