Come along as I revive this 1977 IH 140. Engine has some serious issues but I got it straight. Enjoy #farmall #internationalharvester #tractor #willitrun
It got overheated for sure. There are O-Rings on the bottom of the cylinder sleeves. The head gasket seals the top of the sleeves. They are wet sleeves, surrounded by coolant.
If that's a 1977 model it's seen a rough life. I have a 1977 that my late father purchased new. It was used for several years on our tobacco farm towing a PTO driven sprayer and it still looks new compared to this one. I use it in the garden now.
Nice job you did of getting this one going again. I have a '65 140 and it's the smoothest running engine in any of my tractors. I couldn't quite tell but it looks like your right headlight is higher than the left. If so, it may be intentional. An oddball right headlight bracket is used when a one-arm model 1000 IH loader is installed on these tractors (my tractor's got one). The headlight on a standard bracket would interfere with the loader arm, thus the funky bracket is used, but it then makes the right headlight sit higher than the left, and then makes the tractor look goofy from the front.
Why didn’t you change the oil if it was contaminated by coolant before trying to turn the engine over after the cylinder head gasket was installed 🇬🇧🇮🇪
That little bit of coolant isn’t going to hurt anything if just checking to make sure it runs before investing any more money into the tractor. Also there was no signs of coolant/water in the oil prior. This tractor will be getting fresh fluids and a new filter. Stay tuned for the next video!
I didn't know if the coolant had made its way into the oil galleries and down into the sump, Great video at least you're made it worth watching when's the follow up 🇬🇧🇨🇮.

Well done and it sounds nice
Thank you!

Thank you and that’s good information to know. The left side headlight was crush. Apparently this tractor had flipped over at some point.
@@ErichsGarage Ha, that would do it too! :-)
wheres your work table you'll have parts everywhere?
did you check the pushrods for straight?
I usually soak all those parts in cleaner over niht?
how do you work with all the stuff in the way?

Did you lap the valves..
No. There was no need to lap the valves.
Must be nice to have time to work on tractors when your needed to run a train.
Working on this tractor was a culmination of multiple days. Was running trains more than working on the tractor 🤣
man shop is a mess!
Sorry if the “mess” offends you.
