The clutch and flywheel MUST stay with the transmission it came with. Ford used about a dozen different flywheels on those 3 cyl tractors and it can get confusung if not downright vexing if you start switching things there. It is not difficult to switch one of those engines from gas to diesel. You will need to change pistons, head, intake manifold, front timing cover and put the injector pump + lines and filter in place of the gas governor and distributer. Everything is a direct bolt up switch. You will also need to switch the air cleaner and tubes and replace the firewall tin with a diesel bracket. Also the battery tray. All diesel heads - 2000, 3000, 4000, 4400, 2600, 3600,4600 and 65-83 derivatives will interchange up untill you get into the 10 series. Those headbolts are bigger. You must use the intake manifold that is correct for the head but otherwise they will all interchange. You need to switch ring gears on the flywheel. Gas used fine tooth, diesel used coarse tooth and use correct starter. Temp gauge sender is different between 65-75 and 76-83. Older is 1/8" pipe plug later is 1/4" pipe plug. Easy to drill/tap an older head to 1/4". Couple of other small details involved in switching things around but it's all easy stuff. There are differences in cranks and blocks - bore and stroke of course to get 158, 175, 183, 192 and 201 CI engines but cranks, cams, rods, bearings, lifters, push rods and and rocker assemblies are all interchangeable on all 65-83 3 cyl engines both gas and diesel.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
