I have an late 60s Gallion grader with a blown head gasket. The problem I have is that I don't know what model motor is in it. It is definitely International, and although it is a diesel, it has the boss for a distributor in the block so I am guessing they used the same block for both petrols and diesels. Anyone got any clues?

With no power steering, trust me. It's a dog.
And that isn't a cab. It's an amplifier!!

No Facebook for me. But if no one here can help I will just have to prostitute myself out to another forum.

Looks like you may have an IH Farmall 460 D236 L6 diesel engine.

Bloody hell Dave. Nice bit of detective work there mate!

[Shiney005]

It looks like the Farmall 460 was a tractor model. The D236 also came as 166, 188, 282 and 301 cubes.

A mate of mine has just bought a little Gallion Grader with an International 6cyl diesel engine. The engine code is UD 263. Can anybody help with hp & other info on these engines? So much stuff on the grader, from the brakes, park brake on the gearbox etc are so much like Inter trucks. There is a small sticker on the window that says Dept of Aviation 1986. I'm guessing they would have had it new. Dave

G'day coupeute, I couldn't find any reference to a UD 263, but there are a few for a UC 263 which appear to be an agricultural version of the BD 264 if that is any help.

Sounds like the one at Melbourne Steam club see www.flickr.com/photos/46046969@N03/5513952413/
Also a couple of photos of the engine there.

Coupeute - International made up "Power Units" from the early 1930's, that could be purchased in a variety of configurations, for use in a wide range of applications, such as gensets, compressors, irrigation pumps .. and for use in other brands of machines, for the primary power.

In Galions case, they purchased a standard Power Unit from IHC, and installed it in the grader.
The Power Unit could be purchased with a range of options .. which started at the basically bare engine .. and which went right through to a virtually complete front section of the tractor, to which it was normally fitted.

The UD-263 designation is incorrect. There is no UD-263 .. but, there is a UC-263 as Ray stated. However, the UC model is a petrol Continental engine.
I'd suggest the engine is a UD-236, which IS one IH Power Unit model .. and which engine is listed as one of the engine models for the Galion.

The designations of the Power Units were simple. "U" stood for Power Unit .. "A" for Australian .. "C" for Continental engine .. "D" for Diesel .. "T" for Turbo .. and the number stood for the cubic inches of the engine.

Some early truck engines were supplied as Power Units, but the vast majority of the Power Units were tractor and construction engines.

Here's an ad, below, for the AUD-264 Power Unit, showing the options and prices, from 1964. This is the Geelong-built Australian 264 diesel engine that powered the A-554.

The Galion is quite a good little maintenance grader, and yes, they used as many IH parts as they could, because IH owned the company.
Engine options were petrol (Continental or IH), IH diesel, Waukesha diesel, or GM 3-53 diesel.
It should be a Galion 503 model, followed by a letter, according to model/age. It will have a 10' moldboard.
They went from 503A through to 503L from memory. I don't have any literature or books on the 503, unfortunately. The blokes on Redpower may be able to supply more detailed info.

The 503 should be about 60HP. Early ones were built overseas, later ones were Australian-built. Look for the S/N tag on the grader frame, that will help with ID.
Keep an eye on eBay for manuals, parts catalogs and brochures, once you have pinned the exact model down.

Here's a beaut old Galion grader classic. A late 1920's Galion Motor Patrol, which is powered by an Oliver-Hart-Parr 28-44 tractor unit.
You'd never find those back tyres anywhere, they are probably some antique obsolete size, such as 9.75 x 24.

With the help of Dave, (and Ron) I have discovered I own a 1966 Australian built Gallion 503HG fitted with the UD 282 motor which was manufactured by International Harvester.
Top end gasket kit is available through A.C. Delco.
The block used for these motors was also available in 166, 188, 236, 282, 301, 361, (diesels) and 157, 175, 200, 221, 263, 282, 291, and 301 (petrols), along with four different turbo variants in the diesel range. 18 motors from the same block has got to be some sort of record!

Bomber, I know what your thinking BUT .................. you don't really want a bloody great hole through the bonnet for that exhaust do you?

The Cummins in my truck is a 14 litre, and diesel is pretty cheap at the moment. 1200 foot pounds of torque at 1400 rpm.
