Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the info.    That should clear up a lot of confusion.  I now know what should be on the left side of the hopper.  Right now I have nothing but a yellowish background of a decal.
I have no intentions of restoring this engine other than getting it running right, but will keep you in mind if I ever do.
The engine starts fine and runs great (considering the fuel pump isn't working right) but the problems come after a run and then trying to restart.  Once it's hot, it doesn't want to start.
It could be a combination of things.  Fuel pump, Sticky valves, Maybe too much carbon in the head, Compression, etc.  I'm pretty sure it is a Well Worn Engine.  First thing I'll work on is the fuel pump.  At first, it was all gummed up and I gave it a "quick clean" just to get the engine running for Nat'l Pike Steam, Gas & Horse Show.  
It runs fine but - once hot, no run.
Thanks again for the sketch of the decal.  It is much help.

    Hi Andy,
    I just purchased a 1929 Int'l "M" a few weeks ago.
    On the right side of the hopper (looking from behind the flywheels)
    there is a decal
    approx. 2?" x 6?" that would say McCormick Deering.
    On the left side of the hopper there is a decal approx 2?" x 2" that
    I cannot read.
    It looks like four circles crammed together (like an expanded world
    globe or something).
    I have no idea what the printing on this one might be.
    I am pretty sure my 1? Int'l "M" is original as there is one leg of
    the skid
    (starting/working  side) that still has "1? HP McCormick Deering"
    printed on it.
    Hope this helps.

  Hi Joe & Andy,
          I have redrawn that "Double Globe" decal for reproduction here
  in South Africa. The one I have done has the world map etc. in shades
  of blue and grey and all else in Gold with a black outline. There was
  another "colour scheme" used as well but I would need to go through
  backups to find that. Bear in mind also that exported models had
  different markings - many e-mails passed between myself and the late
  John Hammink on this subject!
          I have put a pic on my site here:
  <[1]http://www.oldengine.org/members/evans/Internat%20Harvesternew%20lo
  go.jpg>
  of the one that I have redrawn, it includes the correct size.
          I unfortunately cannot say which years had this particular
  decal or which years had the other colour scheme. I think the other
  colour scheme was just gold with a black outline but would not put my
  "cock on a block" as to that information.
          I trust that this info is helpful and does not just add to your
  confusion !!

  Keep the revs up (or down)
