Paul: Yes indeed 1958 was the end of the line for that engine. As CNKS has told you it was increased in power 4 times from the H / W4 through to the 350. Diesels were fast taking over in the industry with their increased efficiency. My dad bought a new Farmall 300 in 1955, and on the 9' haybine it used 3 Cdn gallons of gas per hour. Our first diesel was a 560 and on the same haybine 1 Cdn gallon of diesel per hour, and indeed had the power to cut 25% more hay per hour. The diesels would go 2 to 3 times the hours on an engine rebuild. Those old gassers from the 50s were soon history on commercial farms. That is precisely why there are so many of them around in quite decent shape. They don't have a lot of hours on them
