Thank you jmotuzick. It lays right in there and looks good. Thanks again

Routing new wire harness. I thought I would replace the mishmash that was on this model 71 but haven’t seen a diagram of the correct routing. Should the wires stay above the clutch cove and just go behind the generator? and strait forward to front grill or between the frame and engine?

Thanks! I’ll check them out

Anybody got a good source for the 6x12 rear tires for my model 71?

Thanks Klapatta, I found them thru Case IH as they fit a corn head gearbox as well. I did try Napa by dimensions but didn’t have a number but I will remember that one. Thanks again

Well i finally found an old stock piston and ring in standard size thanks the parts diagrams and part numbers from Dave c and ordered it from EBay. Thanks Guys! Now I'm going to replace axel seals and i will be looking to match seals and since i cant read the old ones.

I have been calling all around central Florida to find a machine shop that still bores engine blocks. I haven’t had anything like that done for a long time but Seems like somebody must still do them.

I just glanced at EBay and was surprised at the listings for the K241. Didn’t realize it was the same one as the JD 112

You know I think the best info both of you are giving me is to STEP BACK! You guys are right. I don’t need it done right away and don’t need to just get in a hurry. I measured it today right up at the top of the cylinder today above where the ring stops and am very sure that it is a small bore. I’m ...

Are you thinking that it’s not just as simple as ordering a rebuild kit for the larger bore and having the block bored? I hadn’t heard anything about the rod being different as well. This baby might become a rear ending transmission for somebody’s tractor puller if I keep getting discouraging news l...

Yeah that’s right near home but we spend winters in Florida and this is a winter project. Thanks anyway!

Thanks the 7/8 to 15/16 number should really help me. See I was only measuring my bore at about 5-6 1/1000 which makes me pretty sure I have the larger bore but I will keep investigating. Thanks again

Yeah now that I’ve kinda came up on a stalling point with the pistons issue I might as well work on the paint for awhile. I’m going to cheap out and just use modern cadet yellow but it should look better anyhow.

I’m working on my 1967 model 71 with the K161 engine and have been told that some of them used a smaller bore than the standard 2.9375 in. and those pistons are not available. I had planned to just put in rings but the set I ordered came for a much narrower ring groove. I used a snap gauge and can o...

Sending pictures now have it torn down.

Yeah on the demonstrator!! It wasn’t a nice paint job either. Got it running and the mower even works. Engine smokes pretty bad so I ordered rings. Tore it down and when it’s finished give it a good paint job. Can I order the right color paints from Case IH?

Looking forward to restore this 1967 model 71 for a winter project.
