I have a 544 gas tractor that I fiddle with all
the time. The engine really needs a rebuild by
now, but I was thinking about putting a diesel
engine in instead. I just replaced the clutch and the PTO, and
everything inside looks pretty good, so I hate to
get rid of the tractor, but I don't want to keep
on with the gas tractors. Our diesels run so much
better, with so much better fuel efficiency and
less fiddling. I just don't have time to deal with
things on an ongoing basis now, so I'd like to do
one conversion, and know that it's going to last a
long time (otherwise I'll sell the tractor, but it
won't be for much as compared to getting a new
used diesel from around this area in that 45-50 hp
range) Has anyone done anything like this? Is it a
horrible idea? The gas engine is rated at... I
think 50 hp... What engine would I use to replace
what's in there now? Where do I find it? I'm
pretty handy at figuring things out, but... I've
never done anything like this before. Any help would be very appreciated
