c-123 engine into farmall super c???

Anonymous-0 · Oct 12, 2013

Have a c-123 engine in a IH swather with the starter on the engine side of the bell housing.(block casting 866295R1)
Will this engine fit directly into a super c without problems?
The starter on the super c is on the back side of the bell housing.
The only numbers on the super c engine are
FCM 162258
Block casting 35489R1
Thanks for any info.

That's the Super C engine block and some late Super A's used that block. I would rebuild that block as you can install an over bore kit to give
you 133cid. The piston diameter would be 3.250".

If the flywheel is the same for both engines and the starter drives are the same diameter, it should not be a problem where the stater is located, as long as you use the tractors original bell housing.
But I really don't know, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

If you make that revision to 133cid, do you have to make any changes to the carb. or to the valves?

It's just sleeves and pistons.

If you use the torque tube starter position, you must use a tractor starter not the original engine side starter. They look alike but turn opposite. The SC starter spins CW looking from the brush end. The power unit style turns CCW from the brush end. Jim

(quoted from post at 20:09:42 10/12/13) If you use the torque tube starter position, you must use a tractor starter not the original engine side starter. They look alike but turn opposite. The SC starter spins CW looking from the brush end. The power unit style turns CCW from the brush end. Jim

You have the directions correct as you list them but standard practice it to list the starter rotation when looking at it from the drive end. This is important when replacing such things as starter drives Lots of time the same style drive will be listed for CW and CCW rotation. If the starter installs from behind the flywheel toward the engine it is a CCW starter. If it installs along side the engine block to the back it is a CW starter.

That only affects the cid. Should give a little more power. The valves should be ground while the engine is torn down and carburetor should be ok. If you're going to work the tractor I would use at least 89 octane gas. The area where the sleeve seals are should be cleaned of any rust or crud so there's no coolant blockage. Have your local auto machine shop to grind the valves if any are too thin replace them. Hal
