I too had the want for a 400 Diesel ( I pull a 400 gas now). After doing a little research on the diesel version, I lost my enthusiam for one. From what I was told, they were a economical running tractor, stock hp was 1-2 less than a gas, diesel was prone to head cracking if engine got hot at all. You had to start the tractor on gas, let it warm up a little, then convert over to diesel. This told me that you would have the expensive pleasure of keeping both a gas and diesel system operational. Also was told that diesel parts were very hard and expensive to come by. Good luck.
