Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Do you have an IH part number for what you need? Many, many TD parts are very hard to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevoyager Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Ms303p20 Cb632p25mm Rp241441 is reliance number. bearings at stamped mb1409p mb1410p mb1411p mb1412p im sure someone has them on a shelf somewhere.they made them up to 1990s so surely people haven’t replaced that many main bearings?

Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Jensales shows to have that number. Do they not actually have it in stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevoyager Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 They do not and say probably won’t get any back in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall 1466 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Maybe FP Smith? They have a lot of dozer parts, also for older IH and Dresser dozers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevoyager Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Tried them also.I’m thinking maybe someone replates old bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevoyager Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 I do have new std. rod bearings if someone needs them or wants to trade for some.010? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halevoyager Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Not sure that would help much. has it been rebuilt in the last 50yrs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad Wicks Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Bearings of almost any size can be made from T6 Aluminum. Do you have the rod and piston out? helps a bunch when pin honing to size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikem Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 If you have taken the pistons out, you are already aware that they have to come out the BOTTOM of the block. (rod ends are too big to go up the hole) There is a special ring compressor, IH made for putting them back in. Rarer than hen's teeth, I'm sure. Sneaky re-assembly tip is to put just the bottom oil ring on the piston, compress it with a large hose clamp, install it up in the sleeve, push it up as far as it will go, then install the upper rings on the piston, and install with a normal ring compressor. (It took more than a 20 minute stare to get that done 😉) Good luck Mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevoyager Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 I managed to come across z machine out of Iowa that had bearings.Extremely expensive! now the head shop says head is full of cracks.so back to parts searching for a head. This thing is a nightmare to find parts for. Now my list consists of head ,head gasket ,and rear oil seal quill that takes the rubber seal because new crank has no groove. so much for a quick rebuild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are likely no parts available whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardtail Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 You might be better off thinking of rustred offer some more 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevoyager Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Undercarriage parts are pretty easy they are all just cast no precision really.luckily mine came with new tracks rollers and sprockets 👍 when you get a machine this old I’m sure everyone that has one has a cracked head or bad undercarriage or uses a quart of oil an hour.I’m just looking to fix mine cheaper than someone else’s wore out machine.not saying his isn’t in perfect shape.

ray54 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 A lot of the old IH gas starts here in the old days, but good head for any is near impossible. A never repaired one is like looking for a unicorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevoyager Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 So I finally got everything put back together on the engine. Run’s good with around 60psi oil pressure.Does that seem high to anyone? Also noticed it seems to shake the firewall a bit. Has anyone had problems with the d461 shaking or is that normal?Not as bad as a Johnny popper but not as smooth as a dt466. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Glad you got it back together. Can't answer your questions. The crawler guys hang out more on the construction page. Maybe somebody already suggested that. I didn't go back and reread your whole topic. Good to see somebody saving these old machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I forget to put the bolts that go through firewall behind air cleaner in the firewall rattles a lot. Mine doesn’t run smooth though, she likes to only hit on 3 of the 4 cylinders. As far as oil pressure mine has the original no number gauge. It’s being borrowed by my H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevoyager Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 So first start of the day gas is 80psi oil pressure and stays there on diesel until 180f water temp then is 50-60 . low idle is around 30 when hot. it seems I have #2 cylinder not hitting solid. I crack injectors and all stumble except #2 does not. Good flow when cracked and I can blow through injector when removed.Little stumped.

halevoyager Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Must be I can blow through all of them when removed.They look like a piece of pipe with a screen on it.I take it that is not correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoshoe Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I think you are only removing part of injection nozzle. Pictures to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
