I have a 42 m by the block serial #. The manifold is totally different than my 41 w6. The best way to describe it is the part above the vacuum plug is triangle shaped and not blocky like the w6. Is this correct for the year and is it worth any thing? Scott

It sounds like a distallate manifold. I replaced mine with a gasoline manifold when it broke. I get much better performance now, mostly because the new one wasn't full of 60 years of rust and crud.

You probably know that the kerosene and distillate manifolds used a outlet pipe that bolts to manifold and has a arm sticking out to adjust heat. If thats not any of the manifolds you have there was several different gas ones up to 450 tractors and depending what time frame they were purchased from IH to replace one on a tractor determained what type they were selling. The type that looked squared at junction of intake and exaust runners is probably original type to your tractors if there gasoline originaly. Next type maybe looks a little like a triangle shape at runner junction and several little changes was made in this manifold over some years without changing looks very much. Next is the one that realy looks the most triangle shape at junction and is thick there. It was used on some 400 tractors. Last was the one with 3 ribs at junction. There could be some more because I know a old fellow that used to pull a M tractor back when they were still being used and sold, IH shipped him a manifold and carburetor from headquarters to use on it and the manifold is different than any production tractor I ever noticed. Sure would like to have a look inside that carburetor.

the one with the triangle shaped part is a 400 gas manifold.

IH made both gasoline and kerosene/distillate manifolds. You have one of each. Can't tell for sure, but I think the blocky one is kerosene. Only thing that will add value to purists is to leave them the way they came from the factory. Not sure you can buy the kero/dist anymore, gas will bolt right on. So, the kero/dist one could be worth more to a purist -- but they are both OLD. If I were replacing either one, I would purchase a gasoline manifold.

One of your manifolds is likely a kerosene manifold.Both of your tractors were likely kerosene tractors when they were new,one manifold was likely replaced with a gas manifold.As to the manifolds ''value'',its highly unlikely that anyone is running kereosene anymore,so its value is only based on its useable condition on a gas engine.

New manifolds are reasonable to buy.

Hope this helps,my 2 cents worth.
