IIRC,, the Ford 8N used that plug, my IH 404 (I sold it 22 years ago) used the 18mm plug,,

The reach of the plug from my IH 404 was very similar to the reach of a Kohler "K" engine plug.

Considering the application,, the plug for that 404 was probably about the same heat range,,,

I also have access to a aluminium welder at work. Maybe I'll weld it up, drill and tap.

Decided to go ahead and pull the head and have a peek. This what I saw. Flipped head gasket around and found a dark spot. Not sure if its leaking or from hot spot from exhuast What does this mean?

So, I sanded the head with a piece of glass and 180 grit. I used metal ink made just for low and high spots. The head came out nicely. I need to drill and tap for new spark plug.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
