John I was thinking the same thing but the next line after that is
"oh,  I thought it was just a blown head gasket".  Could be a broken
piston or major valve train damage or bad rings or any number of
things depending on the symptoms.  Still That is a fairly rare machine
compared to a Super M and if I was an IH guy and wanted a project
I'd be tempted.  Of course Al isn't looking for a project.  He wants 
something
he can put in the field soon!

Yeah thats the one. If all it needs is a head gasket the price isn't
bad, I'd think you could fix it for less than $150. Pretty much
everything I have seen is $3k or more unless you can deal with an H,
there are a couple of them floating around under $2k
