I am not sure what you are getting at Vet, other than being grouchy. The 2-71 package was offered by GM and installed either by the owner of the tractor or a GM distributor. The 3-71 in an M would be a very difficult "fit" as it is a little "long" and would require frame rail lengthening among other things. The 3-71 was never offered as a retrofit kit from GM for a Farmall M. GM did offer the 3-71 kit for other tractors such as a Case LA and I believe a W-40
The tractor vet said: (quoted from post at 12:08:53 12/18/13) Well there was a W9 with a 4-71 and a M with a 3-71 just on the other side of town back in the fifty's and they were used to chop corn and fill silo's . They were built out of need for more power and yep they looked factory but they were a BARN YARD BUILD . Just like the 706 that had a 549 in it south of me sure looked factory or the many M's and 88 Oil all Overs with caddy and Ford engines that came out of the same Barn yard shop. And would i pay that kind of money for one Nope not on your life. If i wanted a Detroit powered what ever i would set down and build it it is not rocket science Just like the 5.9 Cumming in the 1855 we did three years ago or the 8.3 Cumming in the 2150 FWA we did last winter. That one took a bit more work with the mod.s to the oil pan . Oh and would i like to set in the seat of something Detroit powered ever again Now way in hello as i have run the the Detroit's for many years and i did not care for them back then .
