There's a 450C that I may end up with, but it doesn't have the adjustable blade.

Bingo.

The spec is .001” per cylinder so a v8 head needs to be warped less than .004”. In other words it was within spec before I started but not great. now it’s less than .0015 so that’s quite good.

AMC 360 cylinder heads. They were .003" warped. Used a granite surface plate and some 80 grit to surface them and now they're less than .0015" warped.

Video is up in case anyone is interested.

I don't think the owner is interested in selling parts. Thanks

That's about all she is. Not many parts on it worth salvaging.

Spent a few hours messing with it today and I've seen enough. It's a turd. Nothing is in good shape and there are lots of half-ass farmer fixes. Got it to turn over, but it wouldn't start. Probably a good thing because it had a severed hydraulic hose, so all the hydraulic oil would have ended on...

Yeah, she's a bit rough.

Went to look at a JD 450 today. She's been sitting for about 5 years, but I think there's a good chance that she'll run with a hot battery and maybe a sniff of ether. Should be a 1967 model, SN 56121. Had a ripper at some point, but it's MIA. Would be good to have one on it; looks like...

Thanks for all the info. They're for sale for $200 for all of them. I'm going to pass. Scott

These are for sale local to me and not expensive, but I'm not terribly familiar with McCulloch. Anyone want to take a guess on model numbers? Anything decent here?

1970 small chamber AMC 360 heads; they're for my budget 360 for the 24 Hours of Lemons 72 Javelin race car.

My latest fiasco is a 1971 Allis Chalmers HD11E that's been sitting in a field for a few decades. Here's a link to the video in case anyone is interested -

On the bench today? A 1971 Allis Chalmers HD 11E. Been sitting for about 20 years; was on the property when the guy bought it and he doesn't have any history. It's roached, and I really have no interest in putting it on a lowboy and taking it home, but I am going to try to get it running...
