I remember his saying that the engine was similar to the one in a 560, but I never found out for sure if that is correct. Before I advertise anything online, I would like to know: what engine exactly, did they use, in these early gasoline and lp gas two row cotton pickers? All I remember is that they were six cylinder engines that sounded a lot like the truck engines of that era. Thanks. [Reply]   [No Email]

The D282 engine has a different timing gear cover that has to be changed to fit the 560 but it will fit otherwise. I would think the same would be true for the C263, but I have no knowledge or experience with that engine. [Reply]  [No Email]

I really appreciate it. Is seems like there is not a lot of interest in these old McCormick cotton pickers, but believe it or not, the farm that sits next to my Dad's farm, donated the IH one row cotton picker/M tractor, which is on display at the Smithsonian Institute! But thanks again to all, for the help. [Reply]  [No Email]
