First off I will tell you that I have been around John Deeres and have not had much exposure to Farmalls. I am currently building a JD 70 for pulling. I will be able to pull it in 2nd and 3rd gear but I think I will want something a little faster. I wrote the post on putting a V-8 in a M and was thrilled with all the replies (I think this is one of the higher quality boards I have been on). Back to my question, I found a 560 wheatland in a IH slavage yard near my home. It has the remains of a big block Chrysler in it (I might even be able to use this block when I restore my 'Cuda). My idea was repowering it with a two-cycle detroit. That would give it an Oliver super 99 or Massey 98 flavor, and it would sound wicked. Since the 560 had a six cylinder in it there would be more engine room than an M so would a 4-71 fit in it? Add a turbo to it and large injectors and your running road gear! I don't know much about farmall tractors, heck I couldn't even tell if it had TA or not. What do you think on this idea? Any comments or ideas? Heck, if I could get this put together I might even become a convert.
