When I was in Jr high school Dad and I put a 4 cylinder 153CI Chevy 2 engine in a Farmall H. We put a belt drive governor on it and set it to 3000 RPM. We used it heavily on the farm until we bought a 190XT in 1972. At Farmall RPMs the Chevy 2 engine had about the same power as a stock H but run it up to 2800-3000 RPM it woke up considerably. We ran it with 6 IH suitcase weights up front and five wheel weights on each rear. It was on 15.5-38s full of fluid. It would play with 3-16s at 3000 RPM in 2nd gear, which was going pretty fast. It also spent a lot of time in front of a 12 foot disk and 12 foot field cumtivator also. All the nay sayers said it would never work and at first it was just a fun project but we kept weighting it down and pulling more with it. It was very dependable and used less fuel doing the same work as our Super MTA. I have an 8MM movie of it leading the SMTA, both pulling number 55 John Deere 3-16 plows.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
