Parts are still available for the DVT-800 engine. But you better hold up a bank on your way to the dealer...lol Last set of sleeves and pistons I put in one ran over $900.00 a hole. That engine weighs close to 6000lbs, so you better have the right equipment to handle it. The engine itself was not all bad, very heavily built and extreemely well balanced. But, in farm tractors the chassis lacked proper radiator capacity and the engine air intake systems were a joke.
So many of those engines expired needlessly when a air filter plugged up.
Once the air filter plugs the motor will pull the oil up out of the crankcase and burn it....once the crankcase is dry...BANG...and out goes a rod through the side. Best thing to do is cut a hole in the hood and stick a 6" (at minimum) pipe out with a precleaner up on top. Most of those tractors are repowered with either a Cummins or Cat engine...the frame has to be extended to fit the 6 cylinder engine in...but you end up with a cheap, inexpensive and easy to service tractor when you are done.
Transmission is Spicer, drop box is Steiger & the drive units are standard IH.
So .... parts are available anywhere quite reasonably. Doc

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
