Hi Good people I am stuck. I took the SM out of cold storage today becuase my brother sold his old cletrack crawler and needed someone to tow it to the road. Well The SM started to skip and something started to rattel and I shut her down quick. It turned out that the distributor was lunch meat. It looked worse than mommas Turkey salad she made from the thanksgiving bird. I need the little springs that hold the weights for the advance. Used is fine. I called case IH and he said $29.00 for the springs. Well I said thank you and hung up. Can any one help me out here I really cant aford $29.00 right now with the holiday coming up for a tractor that should have never been taken out of the barn till spring.Please email me if you have anything. THANKS JON

I don't know why they told you $29.00 the price is $14.07 set of two. Still high I think just not $29.00 high.

Keep in mind that IH had different spring and weight packages for different engines. Best to not mix them up too much.

I doubt that IH designed any of them to not advance before 7000 RPM.

Do you know why the insides got torn up? I changed poits and condensor on mine last year while it was out and put accidently used point screw in condensor and tore up insides. I can understand IH need to make money but $29 for those springs is too spendy when yo can buy the whole chevy recurve kit for about 10.

Hi MagMan, If these are the correct looking springs, email me with your mailing address and I'll send them to you. You can return them whenever you are able to get new ones or other good used ones. I'm in no hurry.

companies don't use common sense any more. If those dinky springs are $30 who is going to buy them? If they are as high as $10 even Magman might begrudgingly buy them LOL. I don't blame magman for not buying those. I'm looking for a hydraulic fitting for a IH 354 power steering cylinder. 90 degree hydraulic fitting has metric thread IH wants $50 for it. I'm still looking.

well Jon, If I take springs out of a distributor then I am going to have to pay $29.00 to replace them. Would you like me to send you a good distributor and then you can fix yours when you get the money?

I think with a little creativity and some high tensil wire you could make your own springs

hi this is just an idea, and i could be as full of stuff as a christmas turkey, but in the auto parts store we used to sell a dist, recurve kit, it contained, several sets of springs, seemed like it was around 5.95 or so. i dont know how those springs stack up against the ihc springs, but you might look just for grins, im half tempted to send ya the 30 bucks, just to see another red machine get running,ericlb, who is still haggeling over a h, and on a truck run today i spotted this forlone looking cub too.
