Having trouble finding a cylinder head for an 1940 Farmall M. Found a cylinder head from a 1949 M, will that work?

yes, a head off of an M,SuperM,400, and 450 will work on your M. a head for a 450 has a higher compression raito but will not hurt your M at all it will gain a few horse with that head

someone mentioned it might change the compression if its a different head design..but not a big deal, sound about right?

There will be a number cast into the top of the head where the rocker arm attaches. #8777 is the head for a distillate burning engine, and is low compression
#6336 is the head for a kerosene burning engine, and is also low compression.
#8060 is the head for a gasoline burning engine, and is high compression. The 8060 is the most desirable because you will get more power, but the 8060 will also be much more expensive. If you just want your M to be up and running then either of the low compression heads will work just fine, and for all practical purposes you won't notice much differance.

how often do the blocks crack behind the cylinder sleves? If its cracked, how much water will leak out? I get a drip on #4 about once a week, might be left over from when I took the head off and spilled anitfreeze in the cylinder.
