I have to agree with Nat on the chalanges. I would think there are more suitable engines than a Detroit. Farmall 450 was engineered for 540 PTO somewhere in the order of 1400 to 1500 rpm. I rather doubt the Detroit will develop much horse power at 1500 rpm. A good old H or 300 would probably out do it on a baler.

As someone else said, sure Oliver used the Detroit engine. Other than noise for the amount of horse power, not much wrong with a Detroit engine, but the vehicle must be engineered fot it.
