I have a IH 400 gas with a loader on it. No livestock, just used to pick stuff up and load stuff on the trailer. The motor is weak, compression is barely 100#s. It's not worth putting the price of a good overhaul into. I'm thinking about just putting new rings in it and grind the valves so it will start and run better. It carries good oil pressure. Ya, I know, take the block to a machine shop and have everything done to it and then have 3 times what it's worth in it to do it right. Not worth it to me, I just want it to run better than it does now. If I get the head off and the sleeves are trashed, then that's a different story. I'll cross that bridge if I get to it. Can the rear main seal be replaced without splitting the tractor? It probably doesn't get 25 hours a year on it, I'm not donna dump a whole lot of money into it. As long as it starts nd runs better than it does now, I'll be happy.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
