I have a 39' M that at one time broke the rear housing and has a small patch bolted to repair it. The question I have is to what would be better to leave this rear houseing or replace it with a non repaired one. I have the houseing it is just the labor. I am planning one keeping this tractor for a long time and am in the process of restoring it. What is the worse of two evils, miss matched numers or the patch? I also have thought about removing the patch and having someone weld it but dont want to open a can of worms since it doesnt leak.

Let me guess, The break and subsequent patch is right under one of the bull gears!!! This was a problem on the M's and subsequent series with IH. What happened was the real axle bearing would go out, the balls would drop to the bottom of the case and there isn't enough clearance between the case and bull gear for the ball. Unstoppable force and immovable object results in a broken case. Look at some M's at a show some time, if there are very many you are bound to find a few with repaired cases.

Now to answer your question. First thing I would do is find the casting number if those are the same I would change the case out. If you want the numbers to match or want to keep the tag number for the accessorys on the receipent tractor procede as follows.

Sharpen the edge of a tiny "wonder bar" type pry bar and drive it under the tag at the rivets and you can pry the rivets up. The tag will probably get wrecked but you can get new ones from D&D in Mason City, IA they will put your serial number on. Their tags aren't perfect copies but they look real good, Only thing wrong with them is the letters are printed on instead of raised like the originals.

Or you could grind the rivets off the recepient and save that tag & Use the above method on the donor and save the holes and rivets.

Hope I wasn't to long winded!!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or in your case, if it don't leak, don't plug it.
