Although the blocks are the same the cranks where different on the mid 68 and earlier 4000 engines. Gas engines were 192 ci with a 4.2" stroke, diesels were 201 ci with a 4.4" stroke.
After mid 68 gas engines were ungraded to 201 ci.
Early 5000 gas and diesels were 233 ci, they where upgraded in mid 68 to 256 ci.
I grew up on a 850 gas 5 spd and loved that tractor, always started and ran good with plenty of power for it's size.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep.
