IH I-404 Needs Work

Posted by Stretch_03 on December 07, 2003 at 20:56:26 from (67.225.176.132):

A friend has a yellow 1963 I-404 gas tractor that has not started for approximately 2 years. He bought it for $100 (while it was broke down) and never started it. It was used for general light work around a horse stables.

There was water in the oil. A mechanic friend says he thinks it needs head work, and his opinion is that it's not a cracked block. The block was cracked and welded on the exterior at one time, and I suggested that maybe it's now cracked inside, and that maybe that's where it's getting water. Is there any way to tell?

Will we be able to get head parts and engine rebuild kit parts? How about a reman. block if it needs one?

Any help and advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
