Whoa! Up here in New Hampshire I bought what I thought
was a 1961 IH 240 Utility with a Husco loader off an
exterior pump in front of the grill. Least that's what the
Operator's Manual suggests along with what the seller told
me. Problem is I can't match up anything that looks like the
s/n with the International Model I-240 sn's in this website!
Looks like the range for 1958-1962 IH 240s spreads from
s/n 501 to 10727. Well, from the left side of the transmission housing, rear of
the split, I can read the following number cast in relief:
"369018 R1". In back of the shifter, on a top surface half
under the seat this
number is cast in relief: "369017 R1" which is one digit off.
There is another number stamped into the L brake drum
housing but there is a lot of flaking metal and paint and I
can't quite make out the numbers/letters without a
wirebrush. There is also some other number on the R side
of the clutch housing, almost looks like it could be on a
riveted plate but there are so many layers of yellow paint on
the thing it looks like somebody laid it on with a trowel. Maybe I should also point out that the paint colors change
dramatically right at the split, both yellow but one looking
'real' and the other washed out. Makes me wonder if I got
the front end from one unit and the back end off another? Anyway I am trying to buy some gaskets for the axle
housing etc and am getting kinda curious as to what I
actually have here. Would appreciate any expert opinions or
informed guesses! Thanks in advance.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
