806 gas, blessing in disguise...

Picked up an 806 gasser recently, knowing full well it's limitations. It became quickly evident that the engine was not original--wrong valve cover, recently replaced oil pan, serial # not where it belonged. Figured it was a combine motor. For sure, the power seemed good. I could get her moving from a dead stop in 4H and not lug the engine much at all. The carby bits seem to be from an 806 (main jet and venturi)

Found the block # (379815R1) and from digging around here and the CaseIH ipl, it appears I have a C263, maybe from a 413 combine. I am a bit disappointed but also surprised as this engine is definitely stronger than my 560. This can probably be attributed to all the 806 parts used for the repower. One day, maybe, I'll pull the pan and see what exactly I have.

Since I don't plan on using it for anything big, I may actually have the better engine; the 291 would be even nicer. Only time will tell. At least everything else works on the tractor. Even the fuel gauge.

If I remember right. the 806 and 856 gaser used the C301 and I don,t think they had sleeves. I think the 263 was used in the 560,706, 656 and 315, 303 combine as well. The 291 was used in the late model 706 and the 756 gas burners.I think they all use the same head,crank just different size pistons
 
Chris,

One of my tractors has a gasser out of an 806 and it's a 301. No sleeves.

Should be stamped on the boss area to the rear of the oil filter.

Nothing there Allan. In fact, I found the engine serial# at the upper right hand corner of the block, behind the generator. I read this is where the combine engine serial# is located.

I can only hope. It certainly is possible, as the engine seems strong enough.

I guess I should stop fretting over it and be happy with what I have. I do have a good 2000 loader on my 560 that is actually meant for the 806. That loader may find its way onto to the 806 by summertime.
