I am new to this forum as I usually hang out on the Ford forums, but need some advice on an IH 574. My son is considering buying one that appears in very good condition (tin, tires, paint, etc.), but was (as the story goes!) overhauled a year ago, then left set outside w/no covering & filled w/water & stuck. I have over 60 years of working on engines, so am not afraid of the work involved, but know nothing about this engine. What are the chances of freeing it? Is it a sleeved block? How common is a replacement engine in salvage yards, & what should I expect to pay for one?
I am trying to gather info before we approach the owner w/an offer, so thanks for any help!
