IH engine

[SONNY]

Bought this at the I & I tractor show !
Left side

Right side


I was hoping it was a 153 cuin motor that would fit my 504 tractor,---BUT its a 200 cuin!---anybody got an idea what the 200 was used on?---this has the bellhousing tag torn off, and has some brackets bolted on both ends like for power unit use.
My IH info kinda runs out at 153,--I really could use some help figuring this one out, AND if it might just still fit the 504! thanks; sonny

Does the paint color of that engine suggest a forklift? Parts lists for that engine are in parts catalog ENG-1.

The paint layer underneath is red primer and the color coat is IH industrial yellow!
I took the head off today and got the motor un-stuck,---looks decent inside, just needs new rings,---pistons have a little slap in the bores! ---pics to follow! thanks; sonny

The dirty head lots of carbon build-up on the inside, needs rings

Top of block after I got it unstuck and cleaned

#1 cylinder after I cleaned it up!--It was the worst stuck one

After driving the piston #1 down to bottom of bore I ran a stiff rotary wire brush up and down the wall, then ran this hone in there a few strokes to smooth up the missed nasties then cleaned the bore before turning over with starter

The manifold has the front ear broke off and 1 bolt broke off too


This is kinda how ya unstick motors around here! LOL!!! thanks; sonny
