Shockingly, when I was 16 I worked for a Case dealership for 2 years through ICE vocational program in school. Washing tractors, and service work. Then Case dealership sold out, and worked in a farm repair shop. It was alot of work, it was mostly installing grain drying equipment, bins, and those tall elevator conveyors, lots of welding, and cutting. It was great. The owners of the company I worked for, had a few drag racers, and they let me hang out and watch them tinker with ther cars. I built a drag car as well, I learned alot about carbs from those guys, I got my first tractor a 54 super H when I was 11, and then started going to pulls and well, lots of late night tinkering with the super H, a few years went by and I built a stroker for our 50 H, and then a year later built a bigger engine for our 40 H, I am proud of that little H, it sure has a big heart, and loves to pull. This 460H i put together, I have learned alot about the IH 6. they are a very powerful engine when fine tuned. The one I have is out of a 70 IH 403 combine. a 263. It has the high rpm single arm governor, I had to rebuilt the head, due to a burned valve. I noticed it was sleeveless as well. Is that common? It has aluminum cast pistons, and are high domed, they look like a firecrater, but seemed taller on piston dome. It has 165 psi of compression, I built up the carb and ignition, it is an honest 80 hp. I run 105 octane blended fuel in it, gulps it more like it, It took me a while to get it right, everything from my times messing with drag engines, and all the little HP tricks paid off. one sweet sounding engine.
