Went to a farm sale saturday that had a 450 propane for sale. I took a pipe wrench along to see if the motor was free but it was not. I checked the oil and it looked clean and checked the radiator for water and could not see anything, so I opened the pitcock on the block and antifreeze came out. It had all the tin but was faded. TA lever was not working. The rims on the back were good no rust. Anyway I was interested to some extent but decided to not bid on it. It brought $1000. I asked the guy who bought it what he was going to do with it and he was going to sell it to a salvage yard. Kind of wished I would have bought it and seen if I could have brought it back to life.

Is there any way that water from a water pump can leak into the block of the 450 engine?

I have a 450 propane tractor I bought 3 years ago. Runs good but noticed when I bought it that there was water in the oil. Replaced the head gasket and made sure the head was good and put it back together and it still gets antifreeze in the oil. probaly lost a half gallon over the last two years. Mechanic friend says to put some soldering wire under the two head nuts under the valve cover and see if that makes it stop. Do you think that there could be a crack in one of the cylinder walls that could be the cause? Like I said it runs great and we use it to feed hay to the cattle.

Where do you find fast hitch chisels and field cultivators at?

Do you know who bought the scouts?

Do you know where that 856 came from originally? I am looking for our old 856 that had a fast hitch probaly. I am from near wichita.

I was wondering if Driver1 is still on here. He posted about 3 scouts for sale in south central wisconsin Let me know if he is still on here

I am looking for an international scout 80 pickup for sale. Fixer upper is okay.

I bought an 450 narrow front propane out of mauer auction in illinois two years ago. It came out of Iowa. Previous owner traded it for some outstanding bills he was owed. Would anybody know anything about the previous owner? Use it on a hay slicer. Works pretty good.

What does it mean that the records after 1971 were destroyed? Were the records before that saved during the merger?

I was wondering if anyone knew of an 856 from northern ok that has a serial number of 31530. It has standard seat, fixed steering wheel, and 2pt hitch. I am looking for our old 856 that would have the similar look and wondered about this one where it came from.
