In Reply to: V8 installation in Farmall M posted by Oregunian on December 07, 2019 at 21:04:25:

To do this job first ya need to take exact measurements , you use the back engine plate off the M engine and drill to mount the engine to it and center lione must be maintained , next ya need the exact stand off for the flywheel from the engine plat to the edge of the flywheel . Next you then have to make a new flywheel out of 4340 Steel and it has to be made from approved stock . . Next you will have to come up with a clutch that will take it and be explosion prof. Then comes the mounting of the engine , here your going to want to ft. mount it . Now i have no idea what you plan to do with this but if you plan to play in the field you will lean fast that you have not made a good choice . V 8 gas does not make any bottom end power and to get them into the power band your looking at BUZZING the engine in the 32-3600 RPM range and due to gearing your going to be way to fast . If you have never been on a tractor truning twice the factory RPM you have no idea on how fast they will go . Myself being not wright in the head i have buzzed up a couple tractors in my youth , one being and Oliver super 88 powered by a Ford 390 four bbl. with a prience (sp) governor set for 2650 RPM and with a manual over ride that we could buzzs it up to 5500 and a shade more , and a 460 gasser with and over ride and 5500 in fifth would get you cooking alone at over 65 MPH . The Oliver was great for wagon pulling on the road if yo had good towing wagons and if you got her in the power range of 3450 RPM she would really get with the program , down side of this was it DID NOT EMPRESS the state cop pulling to gravity wagons loaded with ear corn . Something about the SMV sign and the 25 MPH max speed and something about the 50 plus MPH when i had it kicked in the tail with the four BBl open . Back in the day around here we had two brothers that would install anything in anything .They installed many V 8's , many Allison couple Wright radials , they farmed with a 706 with a 549 I h V 8, W 9 with 460 fords, 500 inch Caddy engines . Personally helped them do a tractor build in a day and have it at the pull that evening . From a carcass and bare block and heads to a running , loaded up and on it's way by 5:30 . tractor was a Cockshut 40 and the engine was a 427 four bolt dual quad Ford. Now will your transmission and rear end take it ???? can't say you would have to open it up and look at evenything layen on the bench . All bearings would have to be good and tight , all gears would have to align , all shift collars would have to be tight all shift rails would have be tight and not woren at the detents good shifter forks to hold the gears for full contact , no chips on any gears , all rear end components would have to be really good and ya know what your still going to make spare pieces and parts.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on ... [Read Article]
