I just bought and have yet to take delivery of a 1979 International 684 tractor with a Rhino Loader. The dealer replaced the fuel system in an attempt to get it to run, but it runs poorly. I am thinking low compression. I need to run a compression check both dry and wet and then see if it is just one cylinder or just wore out. I also need to check the top end for proper operation. I know to loosen or remove the rockers to check and see if the valves are all the same height, and check the push rods.
My question is what else should I check while I am at this point?
I got this machine for very little money, so if I need to do a major engine overhaul than I am still OK.
Any good parts suppliers for International? I am going to need lots of parts.
