That's a great looking tractor, all you need is about 10 suitcase weights on the front and a set of duals for the back .

I did this same conversion on my 8700 here in Australia I used a motor from a 8340 Already had 6 bolt crank Power steering pump bolts straight on And the sump didn’t need swapping as it was already a cast one

Yeah a 40 series engine is externally as close to the 401 as possible, it would slip right in. The 675, other than bell housing bolts and block length is set up very differently. Pretty much nothing else matches. 277hp though so it’s going to have a lot of variation

@Tommy Pepper’s Dirt & Diesel yikes. Mind you thinking about it I did receive a small inline filter one with a nice round hole in it.. glad you found the fault..

Great work. Great videos! Did you get the gear for the steering pump? We have a few here ready to bolt on if you need one. Could you put this conversion in a playlist to make easy viewing from the start?
@dirt_and_diesel Жыл бұрын
I’m listening 👀. How much for the gear? Yes good idea with the playlist, I didn’t think of that.

She lives! Nice one Tom 👍 pity about her diesel problem but shouldn’t be too bad, just takes time. Wonder why she’s bouncing on the revs? Governor or the rack making her do it?🤔
@dirt_and_diesel Жыл бұрын
I’ve found the diesel problem, the cheap pre filters let in air. Trying to get a more solid setup. Governor for a combine is set very differently for a combine, makes it very twitchy. I’ll get it changed up soon

Great work well done, it's well worth the effort. Check out two similar converted Fords at Cathedral Mountain Railway on KZbin. First video " Haymaking 2022 with classic Ford Tractors, Part 1 mowing, tedding and rowing up ". Second video, " Part 2 Baling, Tedding and loading small haybales." Our TW15 has a NH TX 66 combine engine fitted whilst out 8100 has a NH 8970 tractor engine fitted. They have been running faultlessly now for over 27 years since their engine swaps. These conversions are the best tractors that Ford never made.
