Guy I worked for a couple summers when I was in college had a son who farmed across the creek from the farm my Folks owned. That Son had his M rebuilt, sent the head to a machine shop for truing up flat and the paperwork got messed up, they cut .125 inches off, 1/8th inch! They went ahead and used it. Boss told me he was down just across the creek bridge waiting for his son to come up to the road plowing with IH 3-14's, running a couple passes away from the creek. And when he was about half way to the road just like you pulled the plug out of the wall on a tv or radio, it got real quiet. Tractor ended up going to town to IH dealer. I saw the crankshaft, and the mechanic that built the engine told Dad and I the crankshaft broke right next to the center main bearing. In the 55 years since then I have never seen another H or M crankshaft broken, I have heard of one other M breaking a crankshaft.
