Farmall Engine

Joninpa · Nov 14, 2010

Just bought a iH T6 dozer. I was told the engine is a farmall M but having a hard time confirming this. Can anyone help me? The casting date is 11/18/C. From what i found so far that would be 11/18/57. So i would asume the machine is a 58. The s/n on engine is C-281-3239

The C-281 engine was used in the 450 gas tractors prettyy much the same basic engine as an m but the m was a c-248 which has a smaller bore.

The older T6's did use the same engine, C248, as the M. I'm not sure when the change was made but I have a 1948 T6 with the C248.
There is a difference between the M and T6 blocks, however. The crawler block can accomodate a cam actuated fuel pump where as the M does not. Hope this helps.
