Hello
I have a 1949 M with a super m motor it has firecrater pistons and number 3 rod is out the side of the block, nice big hole in side.
THis is not a pulling tractor but a tractor i mow with and pull a oliver 4-14 plow.
I bought a 400 block on ebay and it turned out to be a C-281 block when it arived. My crank is is fixable. I was wondering if anybody can tell me what rods i need to look for and what i should order from CaseIH. For $600 i can get a complete rebuild kit with gaskets, bearings, sleeves and pistons and everything i need. But will everything work with the 281 block and what rod part number do i need to find. Getting ready to tear apart this week, I would really like to have tractor back in field this fall
Thanks
Shawn
