Just for information, Mississippi Road Supply of Flora, Mississippi made the M-R-S tractors using mostly IHC components starting after the war. They used the UD-14 and UD-18 engines and they looked like a TD-14 or TD-18 on rubber tires, configured simular to the competitor Cat DW-10 and DW-11. They were sold mostly for construction work with scrapers or bottom dumps but some were sold for agriculture use. Later models, which were built untill the 70's, were very large four wheel drive tractors with Cummins power. Lots of these were sold to the military.

The original subject was "Re: IH UD18A info".
I was reading an archived thread posted about an International Harvester UD-18A engine that starts on gas, runs on diesel. I was hoping for some help. My great uncle was in town the other day and mentioned that he had a M.R.S. (Mississippi Road Service) tractor built in 1944 with the same IH engine mentioned above. He said that he needed two pistons and two sleeves for it. I know that the old fella doesn't use the computer much, and I figured that the internet is where his best shot would be to find parts. He's driving back home to Texas over the next couple of days, and I think that he would be thrilled if I could get my hands on something before he got home. Nobody's looked at this thread since 2001, but I hope that somebody could lend me a hand. I would appreciate any help or advice very much.

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
