Your brother the mechanic must have never had to keep one of the @%^& things running, or get it to re-start when warm! You are the first person I have EVER heard with anything GOOD to say about them! We had a number of them over the years, and it was ALWAYS something... stuck valves, blown head gaskets, oil burning. We had 2 old IH 163 swathers, one Wisconsin powered, and the other powered by an IH watercooled power unit. The Wisconsin was rebuilt numerous times, the IH watercooled NEVER needed any repairs, and when we junked the swathers, we put the IH engine in an "A" that had a cracked block, and mowed with it for YEARS more. After that, we had a 175 IH swather powered by a bigger VG4D engine. Same sorry piece of crap. After having it professionally rebuilt (by a Wisconsin distributor)($$$$$$), it ran ONE season before it started burning oil again. I replaced it with an industrial Chevy II 153 engine from an Owatonna swather, that already had seen a LOT of use. The Chevy had WAY MORE power and used less gas. I run that swather for YEARS with NO engine trouble, and still have it tucked away in the back of the quonset.
