It's about time you told us you need rated rpms to operate an alternator at synchronous speed. Are we supposed to read your mind? A pile of people wasted their time giving good but non applicable ideas when they were given a bum steer. Pulling two plugs and no other changes is going to blow some raw air/fuel mixture out the sparkplug holes. And draw dust and dirt into the cylinders. Not even a idea worth considering except for testing purposes. Pulling the intake pushrods and locking open the exhaust valves until they just clear the pistons is the ideal if you insist on 4-2. The two dead cylinders will stay warmer/wear less if they pump exhaust in & out. The sound will be closer to that of a four cylinder than if it was operated with the valves closed. As a previous poster mentioned something very important. If you get the coolant temps up to 220F and lean the carb out. And change out ALL the lubricants for very low viscosity synthetic winter lubricants. Efficiency will be increased more than the 4 to 2 swap. Odds are than cooling fan requires 3-4 HP to spin at rated speed. Install a much smaller fan when running at continuous low power levels. This is going to again save more fuel than a 4-2 tinkeration If running on two cylinders the engine may bog and the electric motors stall due to starting inrush current. As for the unwarranted trash talk about Green Crappola............ Remember who is still in business and who went broke. And whose tractors today are purchased today by Agco & CaseIH to be reverse engineered?

Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal. As a resul
