Russell Dewsnup said: (quoted from post at 10:08:00 03/04/15) Finally go to the bottom of my problems with the head on this tractor. The head is a distillate head with gas head valves in it. Problem now is they installed step head pistons, so they are hitting the head when they come to the top. I am trying to figure out what head will replace the distillate head. The parts book shows 8574DCX for the gas head using casting # 8060DD. Will this work for the engine I am working on? The head that came off the tractor engine has casting # 8777-DA. Any suggestions where to find a head for this engine? Thanks
From what I can gather from the original parts catalog, the various heads should be fully interchangeable. Shouldn't matter if the pistons are flat top or step head. If your step head pistons are hitting on the head, you probably have the wrong pistons. Or maybe the pistons are not installed correctly?
