mkirsch said: (quoted from post at 08:48:24 06/03/11) We looked at this project once and here's what we came up with for a shopping list:
1. Front engine cover.
2. Rear engine cover.
3. Frame rails. (they're 1" shorter on the diesel 756)
4. Radiator. (outlet is on the opposite side)
5. Oil pan. (I don't think the combine oil pan will work on the tractor)
6. Flywheel and ring gear.
7. Clutch and pressure plate.
8. Possibly the oil filter housing.
There's other stuff like linkages, lines, and hoses.
I put a german diesel 358 into a 560 farmall and the frame rails need to be longer not shorter, if they were too long that would be no problem at all. The front engine cover can be reused, you just have to make a set of mounts, to bolt the engine to the frame. This is really easy, just a T shaped piece with a couple gussets for strength. Any decent radiator shop can move the lower outlet on the radiator, I think it cost me $40. The oil pan will work just fine on a tricycle tractor and some wide fronts. The stay arm bracket is the only thing that may interfere and it didn't on mine with a schwartz wide front. Oill Filter housing should be fine, it gave me no problems.You will need the rear engine cover, if you want it to be an easy swap, me and a friend machine the rear engine plate from the gas to fit the german diesel but it took a lot of measuring and a bridgeport to get it exact. The flywheel can be bought new for this application and the clutch and pressure plate are easily sourced. For a throttle on mine, I just used a cable, to replace all the linkage and it works great.
Also if the combine manifold is a side exit like the one was on mine then you will need to find a tractor manifold to make it come up through the hood.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
