I can see where your original heading and message could lead people astray with their responses. Are you speaking about the head or the exhaust manifold? Big difference and also big difference in how you go about the replacement work. I've done both. Exhaust manifold is relatively easy. Head is much more exacting in what needs to be done. In general I agree with Chuck in that you need to do a careful job.

Excuse me for straight advise. For anyone's knowledge the specs on these engines are within the same tolerances as any other engine. The job has to be done properly. Your're dealing with a $500 head and I'm reluctant to say its simple. If the gasket has been leaking for some time you will need to have the head surface machined if you want to get a lot of use. I'm not going to give advise that is relavant to patching up a good tractor. The intake and exhaust with control valve is about $200. Improperly installing the manifold temperature valve and running under heavy load could take out the valves. If you want to discuss, I've done several of these and will give you tips. If you want to email for phone number will advise.

Hey,
I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THE OTHER CHUCK. FOR GOD SAKE, ITS A TRACTOR!!!!! NOT A ROCKETSHIP. These tractors were repaired by a common farmer sometimes in the field. If he is anything of a mecanic a exaust manifold or head should be a simple thing. Its the same parts that are on ANY INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE!!! Other than twisting off a bolt on the maifold (use gentle pressure and some kinda penetrating oil) its kinda cut and dry. IF a normal person on here can rebuild a motor then this cant be that tough. You might try to get some suggestions from people who have done this to this model or one thats simillar (630, 730 etc.). Dont let people tell you that you have to be trained to do mecanican on these tractors. Its a good idea, though, to have a I&T manual and a JD Service manual to compare both together and find out the easiest way to do things. I am not trying to make people mad on here, however, i felt that chucks reply made it sound like it was rocket science and its not. Hope this helped ya out some eventhough i was up on a soapbox for the mostpart of it.

If you cut corners it will only come back and bite you in the butt. Do the work right or do it over again while complaining loudly to all around how much work your old tractor needs. Some of the "farmer fixes" I've found during restorations deserve a good horse whipping on the guilty party.

your questions scars me, doesn't sound like you know anything about the job requirements and doesn't sound like you've got any confidence in your brother-in-law. A general mechanic and a tractor mechanic is a different thing. My suggestion would be to contact someone who has done that specific work and get on hands assistance.
