that is my concern too, how much trauma did the rest of the valve train take, and what was the cause/order of destruction? I'm going to assume it self destructed while it was in a run away condition (history i was told is it ran away, they choked it out and parked it - i now have my doubts)...

Here's the teardown pictures - here's what i found when i pulled the valve covers. #1 intake push rod was just hanging out. that cylinder wasn't doing much. left to right, 6-5-4. #4 intake valve springs have no retainer clip, valve stem is just chilling out down there. #4 intake needs...

Today's the day I get a peek inside. I started pulling off some of the exterior stuff last night and it looks like i may need to replace/rebuild the turbo as well. Letting this one sit full of water did it no good. I'll know more once I get it and the heads off. I'm taking plenty of pictures...

I have the LDT-465-1D. from what i've read this is a later model of the 1C and is the desirable TD block. I've emailed a couple suppliers to see if their LDS-465-1C gasket kits will fit my application. fsearls92 - I will have the heads planed and gone thru before they get put back on...

good ol #4..

I've pulled the injectors and found #4 to have a broken injector tip and the cylinder is full of water. At this point the heads will be coming off. Looks like i'm going to get the accelerated getting to know your M35a2 experience! I'm going to call it a day at this point, no sense getting in...

Okay, got the rod cleaned up and IP all put back together. Turned it over, and the stack belches a ton of water. There's only one place that could have come from and that is the cooling system. I stopped trying to crank it at this point, it sounded like it was hydro-locking. advice, things...

short version - I picked up a '67 m275 that ran when parked (unknown date). last time it was started the motor ran away (4 years ago?) and end of story until I picked it up. I've read all the articles on the IP disconnect rod, HH rebuilds, and decided to see just what it is I am actually...

it's been a while since my last update. Life kinda sorta got in the way for a while. I fired it up last week! It cranked over 3 or 4 times sounding like it was trying. Once it cleared all the water out of the stack (my cover blew off who knows when ago, won't happen again), she fired right...

no bob, i like it just the way it is.

Thanks for the info! The title is still in the mail. He thought it was a 73, so that's on me for not checking before speaking. I will probably be losing the tractor parts. Everything looks to be in good shape too, the storage box is banged up a bit, but that's minor. I want to be able to...

Yep, I know who Al is. I'm sure we'll be crossing paths again soon.

yep, the rock's not a bad place to eat. i've done a lot of work up there for the owners. BCC is a small town, just the way I like it.

thanks for the feedback, I didn't think it was in bad shape either. soft top is shot, but it's Arizona.. who needs a top? haha! I think i'll start with a complete fluid/filter change, complete lube job, and get this beast fired up. hoses and belts in there too at some point, sooner than...

Thanks for all the welcomes! Jeepsinker, Fuzzytoaster, thanks for the info and pictures, those do look nice. i may stick with duals, we'll see. kblazer - here come some pictures..

LDT-465-1D :) I want to put super singles on it and go as big as I can with the tires, keeping all 3 axles. From there... we'll see! should i be worried that i have the sprag t-case, or just deal with that when it comes up, if it does? -Sean

Hello all! New owner here - I purchased my '73 M275 about a year ago, and it just got delivered last night. I'll post pictures as soon as I can get home and take some in the daylight. She needs a little work (been sitting), but has low hours, miles, and runs. I'm sure I'll have lots of...
