We would like some of your rain very much. We will tell you when we have enough. We are so dry the Mississippi river is running quite low.
And good to know it works, too often they have not moved in many years. The time you need to kill the engine like when a injector seizes and it starts to run away is not the best time to learn it won't move.Should be glad it's still there-might need it.
Checking drainage?
And you are absolutely correct about that.I know someone who bought an IH 4200 new in 1982 with an 8V-71TA (371 HP). The 4200 was specific to the 8V-71 in that it was a shorter hood than a 4300 that used other engines.
Yes, but probably quit fast enough to toss part out the side.A Detroit, sufficiently worn, will still run with the blower door closed. Smokes badly, but will run.
That is what he told me and one of the reasons he bought it but he didn't mention other engine options. I found some reference the 4200 was the short hood (10" shorter) and could also come with a 903 Cummins and I think a V800 whatever that is. Have also seen other engines listed but some could be transplants. I've only ever seen them listed with an 8V-71. It sounds like mechanics didn't like working on them because the engine was half under the windshield. Apparently the 903's weren't the best in truck applications but were very popular in 4 articulated wheel drive tractors.And you are absolutely correct about that.
