I was told that an MD uses the same motor parts, so off to the parts store I go, get a head gasket kit for an MD, get one in record time, should have been my 1st. clue something was wrong.The gaskets are differant than on mine. Next I go to web and order cap, rotor, and points, to easy, 2nd. clue. Obviously the wrong parts, but I have an H-4 mag and ordered for the same, what gives? Is there that big of a differance between MD and TD, or is there a specific MD I should be looking at? With a serial # on the motor of 2062, I'm pretty sure it's a 248 model, but I've been wrong before. What am I not doing right? Is it time to try local IH dealer? Tyring to keep the cost down but...

I think its the expendable parts that will be hard to find. Did you rebuild any of your idlers or track rollers? The oil comes out about as fast as I pump it in on mine. Any ideas on parts for those? I was thinking trying to cross match IH part numbers with something out of the parts store. Thanks, Paul   [Reply]  [No Email]
