[Farmall] Int. 184 overhaul - a mystery

[Bobby Guilbeau]

Looks like the oil pump spring Mike.  Hopefully the oil pump itself is not
damaged

Subject: [Farmall] Int. 184 overhaul - a mystery

I promised to keep folks updated on the overhaul of the engine on the 
184, and today's work provided an "uh-oh" moment. After removing the 
flywheel shield and the steering arm cross member, I was able to drop 
the oil pan. As is my habit, the first thing I did was fish around in 
the remaining oil to see what lies down there. In this case, there was 
only one small spring

ml>. 
 From my experience with the IH C-60 engines, the only spring that looks 
anything like that is the oil pressure control valve spring. By the time 
I thought of that, I had already cleaned up for the day, so I will pull 
the plug that serves as a cover for the pressure regulator tomorrow and 
see what is in there. There is also supposed to be a little metal plug 
(IH calls it a valve) at the end of the spring, but I haven't found 
that, yet.

Stay tuned for developments...

Mike
