Hey guys! Finally getting back to working
on my IH 404 utility. For those that don't
remember, it had low compression on two
cylinders, and was burning oil. I am in the
middle of tearing it down for a full
rebuild and clutch job.
First I found that it had two different
lengths of push rods in it. Neither of
which were correct! So I know have 8 new
push rods for it.
I have also found one (for sure) bent
connecting rod. Now, they were going to the
machine shop anyway to be "remanned"...but
is this one salvageable or do I need to buy
another???
Secondly, the flywheel bolts started
wearing into the pressure plate rivets.
Flywheel was going to the shop too to get
re-surfaced. Can the inner bolt surface of
the flywheel be machined to re-establish
the correct step or should I be on the
lookout for another flywheel as well?
Thanks for the insight!
