Hugh, I just pulled the head off my Farmall 100 to just check the top of the pistons and sleeve wear. I noticed that the pistons only come up to about 1/4 inch from the top of the block. Have you heard of a vendor that might handle flat top pistons that have the wrist pin located a little lower in the piston to gain a little more compression? IH did not build a propane version with a higher compression head. I would like to get the compression up to around 8 to 1.

Sorry Hugh I don't know how I got my subject line in the name box. Must be gettin old. After measuring the head gasket thickness and the block deck to the piston top at TDC it adds up to 1/4 inch. What do you think about taking .125k off the block?

Red: That getting old makes two of us, when I responded to you I tried at first doing it without name or e mail, didn't work.

I am a poor one to ask on this subject. I have owned, operated and maintained a lot of equipment in my day. However rebuilds were always farmed out to the professionals. My son picked up this IT manual as we were thinking of doing the same with my 130 as you are with 100. I have seen much discussion on whether a C-135 will fit the 100 or 130, but no one seemed to have a difinate answer. There was a discussion a couple of days back, subject was SC crankshaft and Stan seemed to shed some light on this. Probably wouldn't hurt for you to take a look. It is probably some where between page 6 and 10. When I was farming I just never had time to get into engine or other sophisticated work. I am brave enough to try, but will be asking as many questions as most other people.

I am not into tractor pulling as you are. I am planning to cut back a 530 or 540 semi-mount plow with 14" bottoms to two bottom. I then plan to build a single point fast hitch, semi-mounted steerable 2x14 plow for use on 130. With 12.4x24 rear tires plus wheel weights and chloride, I will probably need a bit more steam up front. I currently plow with 2x12 factory single point fast hitch plow.
