KEEP The M. Your cost estimates are too high. You can get a rebuilt clutch and pressure plate for around $150. There are plenty of guys on this site who would direct you through the clutch replacement. I have done several and it is all done through the belly pump cavity. It takes me about 3 hrs and that usually allows for a 15 minute nap. The hardest part is lifting the pump, but a floor jack does that nicely. Your engine probably only needs rings. You drain the oil, remove the head, loosen the rods, push the piston out the top, install new rings, hone the cylinder, replace the piston and rebolt torquing as per the IH spec. There of course are some gaskets to replace in the process. Rings and gaskets would be around $200. If you can't do it yourself, I am sure you've got a buddy or family member who is a wrench head. How about the local vocational school, that is another option. If however you decide to upgrade and get rid of the M, let me know. Good Luck, JoHn
