Sorry, but you'll need the type of rear axle, transmission, engine, and
chassis number. Better pull a line set ticket. Your local IH dealer should
be able to pull one for you. Just go in and give them the serial number and
tell them you want to know which engine, transmission, and rear axle you
have.

Here is an example of what I pulled out of the B series parts manual,
MT-107.

B180 Trucks without Aux transmission (brownie equivalent, I'd guess)
Below Chassis number FB24567, SB184971

That's just a small part of it. The other (and maybe better) alternative is
to take the old u-joints in and match them up. Try to save the carrier
bearing, etc. They usually last indefinitely as long as the engine and
transmission mounts haven't loosened up. Up and down is okay, but side to
side kills them quickly.

Let me know if you have the line set ticket. I can check the proper part
numbers that way, and somebody will be able to cross reference them to
current numbers.
