I was wondering if anyone could give me a ball park figure of how much a cylinder head and manifolding that bolts to the cylinder head of a Model R would run. I have access to an R that seems to be almost totally complete minus the cylinder head and probably exhaust manifold and one water manifold (I don't know what else is missing because I don't have a manual or another one to compare with!) Thanks.

Yeah, I guess its probably a case of "too-good to be true". Do the cylinders on these huge 2 banger engines develop a ridge as the engine wears like a normal passanger car engine? I ask because these appear to have no noticable wear. Also, how much do tires for the 15x34 wheels cost? The ones on this tractor are totally rotted from sitting so long. The tires say they measure 18.4x34 when mounted on a 15 inch wheel and they are awfully big!

I've never torn a diesel apart, but I'm pretty sure they develop the ridge like any other engine. Hmm, maybe it was bored? Or maybe the hours are real? Never say never!

There are lots of sources for tires, including new or used. You might find a deal if you look hard enough. A look through a summer 2002 Miller Tire catalog lists 18.4x34 as $365.00 a piece, plus $48 per tube. Wow!

Miller Tire, Wauseon, Ohio

You might find 15x34 somewhere, but the tire measuring system was changed way back when, and the same tire is now called a 18.4x34.

Good luck!

Oh, I forgot to mention that if I am reading the three hand hour meter correctly, this thing only had 1630 hours on it when it was torn apart to rust. What do you think could have happened? It could have just been looters I guess.

I'm not sure exactly how many pieces you are missing, but I have to comment on those hours. That sounds WAY too low to be realistic. I'd suspect a broken hour meter, or maybe a replacement? My 80 showed only 5500 hours. Of course, the gauge didn't work anymore. And you have to wonder--how LONG has it been broke. In fact, when I pulled the meter out, I found out that there wasn't even a cable!

I don't know how rusty the engine is from sitting open--myself, I wouldn't offer too much. There are plenty of running Rs out there, and with the R you are looking at--what else is wrong that you can't check because it doesn't run? I'm not trying to say you shouldn't get it, but be careful!

If you want more info on the Rs, go to:

Good luck,
Brandon
