Haven't done it, but am starting on a 560 soon, so I'll tell you what I think I know. Any rear engine plate from a common 400 series tractor engine will bolt to your clutch housing, but the flywheel will be too far forward to engage the starter (at least that's the case on a 560). A spacer will have to be made to move the flywheel rearward enough to work. Don't know about the ring gear diameter on the 666, but the flywheel has to be turned down to fit a 560 ring gear for it to work on my tractor, might have to do the same on yours. The front engine plate will bolt inside the frame rails, but has to be machined narrower to fit between the 560 rails, possibly on yours, too. The engine will probably be too long for the fan to fit behind the radiator, so the rails might have to be lengthened a little, or a spacer machined to fit between the rear of the rails and the engine plate, which is what I might do. In my case, the fuel tank has to be modified to clear the valve cover. The rest involves linkage and plumbing, which shouldn't be a big deal. It's definately not a bolt-in deal, but it can and has been done. These are the things I've read or been told, I may be wrong, and will find out how wrong as I do the swap this fall/winter. I'll be an expert by spring...

Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
