I am looking for a running IXB-3 or one that can be rebuilt. I think if I am going to go spend a bunch of money having one built or doing it myself I should do it with a motor that will be easier to get parts for if it should break. Preferably in the PNW area or somewhere that shipping isn't going to make it to expensive.
If you have an IXK with the poured bearings you may be able to get the block line bored cheaper than to find new bearings. On th rods I would use bearings for an IH. much cheaper/ If you have an IXB apart and the pistons are good I would bore the IXK to fit the IXB pistons. More details send me a P-M.
Hi John. I have seen you mention this before. Can you send me all the fine details of how I can convert an IXK to an IXB, please? Many many thanks in advance. I think you have my email address from the YT Oliver forum. If you would prefer a physical address and your postal costs, please let me know. Chris
