I had mine spray welded and remachined. It cost about as much as a used block ( they are night cheap to ship). Greg [Reply]  [No Email]

The one you want is 354898 R(some number). This identical block was use in the late C and Super A, prior to the Super A1 and Super C. So it is the block number that is important, not the tractor it came out of. It accepts a kit giving 134 cu in instead of the factory 123 cu in. The late C and late Super A used thicker sleeves to keep the cu in at 113. [Reply]  [No Email]

There is nothing wrong with it and it comes out of a super C. Only thing is im in Ontario. [Reply]  [No Email]

Mine and many more are welded since the old guys tended to use only water for coolant and sometimes failed to drain the block before a big freeze. [Reply]  [No Email]

You want the 123 cu. in block and not a 113 cu. in. which is the earlier small Farmall tractor block before the Super C tractor was produced, Hal. [Reply]  [No Email]
