Am looking for a replacement oil breather cap/dipstick for a Palmer IH60 HD Engine #5842659 and a accessory drive belt between water pump and alternator. Belt pulleys suggest a flat belt with treads. Belt would be approx 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 wide and 18-18.5 inches long. Not the typical V-belt on most accessory drive pulleys. Any suggestions?
Thanks |

The IH tractor engine is designated C60. The Palmer is P-60. |

Did you look at Steiner Tractor part # IHS406. Looks a lot like it but does not show attached dip stick on "view image". |

Engine #5842659 was marinized by "The Palmer Engine Co." in 1959. Of the large number of M-60 AKA P-60s that I have heard of this is a first with a flat belt drive on the alternator. I suspect it was not shipped from the factory with that belt drive set up. I would suggest going to a belt supply house for a replacement. One needs to keep in mind the full title for the IHC C-60 tractor engine is CUB LO-BOY, C-60. Don't talk Palmer to the IHC tractor dealer they will think you are losing it. You probably can get a useable dip stick from any IHC tractor dealer but keep in mind the local IHC truck dealers and tractor dealers may be totally different operations. If you find a used dipstick make sure you clean the breather in gasoline to remove and residual dust as the PCV system which is used on the Marine conversion isn't used in tractor application. In effect you will be sucking the old tractor dust into the crankcase via the PCV system if you don't clean the filter in the top of the dip stick. Hope this helps. |

I have a IH 60 (22 hp) palmer, I am refurbishing it and was thinking that it might be a good idea to fresh water cool it - its going to be in salt water.
Does anyone have a list of parts and suppliers to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

You might want to try Moyer Marine's Atomic 4 site (http://moyermarine.com). The A4 is very similar to the Palmer M60. I believe Don Moyer has some schematics for fresh water cooling that could be easily adapted to your M60 |

Wayne, Idigo Elecronics makes a fresh water cooling system for the Atomic 4. It should work for a P-60 except that you would have to fabricate a bracket and figure out a way to run the raw water pump. |

Richard, look up Indigo Electronics site!!!!!! They have a kit for upgrading an Atomic4 raw cooling system to a heat exchanger type system. |

thanks for the leads, the Atomic 4 set up's look like they would work out with a bit of effort. Getting a pully on the front of the flywheel to run the pump looks like an issue. does anyone know if there is a stock item that can bolt in to the holes that the hand crank attachment uses. Other wise I guess something will have to be fabricated. |

Wayne, buddy, pal, Palmer went out of business over 30 years ago. For all practical purposes you are dealing with an antique. If you want to go the fresh water route, you will have to do some jury rigging. Atomic4s are of a similiar size, power and even appearance but they share little else, save the carburator and thermostat (raw water). Atomic4s have the advantage in that they are more numerous and have good aftermarket support. Palmer P-60s do not. Be sure you know what you are up against before you venture into any major mecanical adventures with a P-60. |

I am a collector of International trucks, tractors, memoribilia, etc. I also have a few wooden boats. I'm looking for a International/Palmer marine engine for my collection. I would appreciate any information available.

The flywheel and crankshaft are unique to the Palmer and different from the IH tractor engine. The flywheel must be repaired or gotten off of a scrapped Palmer P-60 engine. Palmer has been out of business for over 30 years and there is not enough Palmer P-60 engines left in existance to warrant after market production of parts peculiar to that engine. |

Jeff, I have a complete P-60 I'm taking out so I can repower with a diesel. Want some parts? The engine ran fine.
