Hi There. I hope I am not breaking any rules by asking a question about a Swather on a Tractor site.
I just picked up an IHC 230 that (apparently) has a C - 153 engine. I understand that this engine is similar to the C 153 that has been used in Farmall and IHC Tractors. I think I have see different tune up (timing) specs quoted and I believe one of the 153 models uses a different bore and stroke combination. Further, I viewed a post that called for premium grade fuel and a specific 30 wt oil.
I have searched all over the internet for engine tune up specs, without any luck. I actually invested $20 (which is about $35 Canadian) for a mediocre "download" manual for the 230, only to discover there wasn't any engine information in this manual.
What I am looking for is tune up information specific to the Model 230 Windrower Engine. I need oil type and grade, capacity, spark plus type / heat range, point gap and timing specs. Oil filter (cartridge) number would also be appreciated.
I appreciate any help to my questions.[/i]
