FINALLY!!! All the mechanical work is done. (well enough for now) This was my winter project. It's a '53 Super M with a 2-71 GM two stroke Diesel. It turned out to be a lot more work than I thought but I did a lot of different stuff to it also. I completely rebuilt and re-machined the brakes (I can drag a tire with my big toe), new seals all around, completely rebuilt the front end, all new steering, rebuilt shifter, tranny seems good and quiet because it was a loader tractor for many years, dual air filter set-up with K&N filters inside, electric radiator fan, new radiator. The engine runs out at 2100 RPM max and should put out about 65 HP. I'll find out next weekend at a local tractor show. I machined up a custom billet rear cover for the engine and I machined about a 2 inch spacer between the crank and flywheel. This allows you to use the stock flywheel, clutch and starter location. Everything is balanced up also. 2-71's have counter balance shafts and the engine runs amazingly smooth for a two cylinder. I also made a custom oil filler, air intake and relocated the original oil filter and breather so I didn't have to cut the hood at all. Believe it or not it is not very loud either with a muffler and a good silenced air intake. I had a straight intake on it this spring and those 2-stroke blowers make as much noise as the exhaust! I've got K&N filters inside the original oil bath air cleaners and a lot of rubber inside them also so it silences it nearly completely. Next I want to get some nice 16.9's on it since the rims are already widened 2 inches and eventually paint. For now though I'll just have to be happy playing with it at the shows the next few months and a tractor ride this weekend to re-familiarize myself with my family. I’ve been known as that “guy in the shop” for a too many months now! I can answer any other questions. Fire away. Mark

Talk of the Town: Diesel Vs. Gasoline - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: " I am in the market for an older tractor (to be read... cheap). I have been told a diesel holds up better than a gasoline engine as far a wear, tear, neglect and abuse. Since I am looking at older tractors that have probably been through it all, is it better to buy diesel? I do expect to have to do a good bit of work on
