It has a 90degree gear box off it with a flat pulley.It is self contained with a radiator and gas tank Why would something IH have a continental engine in it? I am more curios then anything else what I paid for it I could scrap and be OK. THANKS Dan [Reply]   [No Email]

Could it have been that IH used the continental because the Cub was not made until 1947? My uncle had a 50T and it was not exactly overpowered by the Cub power unit. Joe [Reply]  [No Email]

I was in set-up & we got in 2 flat cars of balers (46T), 1 had balers & 1 was Wisconsin V4 air cooled engine for baler instead of pto drive. Seems like the IH territory man put a X in the wrong place. [Reply]  [No Email]

Either 213 or 233, whichever one is the 3-5/16" bore. Not impossible, of course, but I believe a Continental in this installation would be a rarity. [Reply]  [No Email]

Continental, was one source. Waukesha another. Hercules still another. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]
