I don't think many tractors were made using that engine. They should've used an engine that was in production. Detroit diesel or Cummins probably had engines at that time that would've been a better choice.

The Army had a lot of 2 1/2 ton trucks that used a Continental multi-fuel engine. It smoked terrible and sometime in the late 60's Germany
forbid the Army to operate those trucks due to the heavy exhaust smoke. They eventually bought German trucks made by the MAN company. These
diesel trucks didn't smoke very much. Politics
played a big part in using Continental engines since they were used a lot Army vehicles. The M88
and M60 were just a few of them.

You may be able to have a sleeve made at this company. Some of the people that post on here have used them. Here's their web site and phone number. Hal
