One of the requirements on most fuel injection setups is some sort of electronic ignition. While Pertronix is what most tractor folks go to, since the only difference between the IH tractor six distributor and the IH truck six (SD, BD, and BG 220/221, 240/241, and 264/265) is the lack of a tach drive and the addition of an EXTERMAL vacuum advance on the truck motors...a GM HEI off a Chevy six can be adapted to work on the IH six. It requires removing the distributor drive gear; shortening the shaft and slotting the end of it; installing a bronze bushing--available in the hardware section at Tractor Supply as Hillman 1/2"x5/8"x1-1/8" [will also have to be shortened]--to keep the distributor and oil pump connected; grooving the distributor housing for an O-ring; and, since the IH engines rotate the distributor the opposite direction from the Chevys, rewoking the centrifugal advance. And if you want the vacuum advance to work, it requires a vacuum advance from an Olds [they turn opposite direction from Chevy], and some reworking of the housing to make it fit [think hacksaw, grinder, and some J-B Weld to fill the space where the old vacuum advance entered the distributor housing]. On the JustInternationals website-- www.justinternationals.org --they diagram SOME of the distributor mods, and make it look fairly easy. And since they are at the forefront in fuel injection conversions for International V8's, there may be some "trickle-down" from their discussions that can be applied to the sixes as well.

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
