recently me and my dad put a new 310D(german diesel) on our 715 combine and my dad has come upon a deal for a 856D tractor without an engine and we have been told that the engine out of the combine will work with some modifications. Could some of you IH guru"s help us out with any details it would be greatly appreciated!

I definately agree with K.B. You'll underpower an 856 significantly with the 310. Awesome motor in the 706 and 756, though. 407 is what was original, and I wouldn't go under if I was going to do a engine replacement (or just placement, in your case). The 361 will bolt right in, true, and would make a lot of sense if you could get a good deal on one. A 436 or 466 would really make a machine out of an 856 though. I'd take the engine, make it as efficient as possible, and tune it about 130 horses. Good luck on making something work.

I don't know exactly what that switch takes, but I'm sure it's a lot of work. I belive that you will have some flywheel/pilot bearing issues, and you might end up having a flywheel custom made. Next, the frame rails. You'll need a pair from a late 706, a 756 Diesel, or an 826 Diesel. Then you've got all the usual "small" stuff like radiator, fuel lines and linkage, oil pan, exhuast hole in hood, ect. In the end, you might end up thinking you put too much work into an underpowered tractor. If the price is right on the 856, you might want to look for a good 361 or 407, those will bolt right in. If you're definetly interested in doing a repower project, consider a 414, 436, or 466 engine. It will take a little more work to make those fit, but they are pretty cheap and easy to find, and you won't be disapointed with the power they make.
