Consignment auction purchase

tak8098 · Mar 22, 2015

I bought this complete motor yesterday for 250.00. It was advertised as a case 400 but the manifold and air cleaner is the same as my 800. Wondering if it could of came off an 800. It has a zenith carberator and was curious if that was an option or did someone replace the marvel scheibler. Thanks for any info.

The 400, 700, and 800 were basically the same tractor with a change in tinwork; that's why it looks like one out of an 800. (The 700 had a simple tranny and the 800 had Case-O-Matic,)

There is a casting number on the side of the block just behind the distributor that will help to determine a little more information about your motor.

Casting # A1111 was installed in the 400's starting in the middle of 1957 to the end of that year. Then this same casting was used in the 700's & 800's in 1958 & 1959.
