I just got the head off my super M that I recently brought home. Boy is it sad. The motor was apparently rebuilt just before the original owner died and it got parked in the barn then sold and left outside for years. The muffler was gone and manifold busted and water got in them brand new cylinders. POOR THING!
Anyway, this tractor is propane. I am gonna make it gas. Should I do firecrators or can I use them with this head. I"m not sure of the head serial number. These piston are a flat raised top with a step on one side. I am gonna have to get new piston and cylinder assemblies thanks to the rust but thankfully everything else is fine. Well, I need to get the radiator recored too. I don"t like all the old repairs on it. It holds though and was full of antifreeze.

Any other suggestions anyone has for converting back to gas would be greatly appreciated.

You said the manifold was bursted? Was it due to freeze damage, do you live in a cold climate? If so get the head and block checked for damage, they may be cracked if water did get into the cylinders. I bought a M from IN. and it was parked in a shed unfortinaly there was a hole in the roof right above the exhaust stack. Over the years water dipped in and cold mother nature did the rest, one head and #3 hole

It looks like someone busted the manifold trying to unscrew the pipe from it. That's all. I'm gonna clean it all up and magnaflux it all tomorrow but I doubt anythings busted inside. We're in west texas and it gets cold but not too bad. If anything the cylinders might be cracked but they didn't appear to be. Still I got my fingers crossed.
