Well the Mseries trucks are very similar to the R model cabs. I own a M series M6123 or something like that it's an old cement truck. 6x6 and all. Pats were available through the dealer for it 30 years ago or more. The transmission would probably be able to be swapped with something else if needed pretty easy by possibly changing the bell housing. Rear ends were IH 's own make in some cases like mine they are an RA351 in a live tandem. Engine is probably one of the old red diamond engines. A slow speed high torque engine of the times. Clutch is not a problem probably just a 14inch double disc clutch. As for the Air brakes those are simpler than juice brakes to work on with no mess from brake fluid. IF the air compressor works and the engine runs the brakes will probably just need shoes for the wheels which are a generic part from either of a couple of manufacturers. The big brake issue would be if they are wedge lock brake style those will need heat to get the screws loose so you can turn them and then a lot of lube of choice to keep them loose. Front brakes can be either of those S cam or wedge lock. S cams are much desired and easier to work on if there is no shaft from the shoe out towards the center of the axle with a slack adjuster on it they are probably wedge locks. The wedge lock has the air chamber right out from the backing plate. S cams are fastened to a plate welded to the axle facing front or back. Big thing will be if they have the old copper lines on the brake chambers. I would change them over to the synflex line with the compression ferrels for the lines from stem to stern. Quick release valves are on the frame usually for the axle release. Soapy water is the easiest way to check for leaks. Call me if you want more information. Cab parts like your glass will be the biggest problem for getting parts.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
