Old Ford engine vs New Genesis BEAST! Engine swap Saturday!

[@jamessmith7691]

How fortunate being able to swap those two with a hp upgrade. Good video.

[@Dave-jm5yo]

There's a lot to do. The new engine looks very fresh. Looking forward to seeing it running.

[@colinbodnaryk7518]

The Genesis engine is awesome. My dad has had 3 genesis tractors over the years. Two were over 10k hrs. Reliable and good on fuel

[@GeneHunt406]

Hi, enjoying to progress on this tractor... Just a suggestion, is it possible to turn the turbo 180 degrees, this will give you the exhaust at the front and the inlet air at the back, like a TW-20, your obviously need to rearrange the oil lines with flexible ones, maybe!

[@nfarnell1]

The oil cooler and turbo are a fixed group in my opinion. If you lose the cooler lose the turbo. If the cooler simply willl not fit rig up some kind of cooler, even if it is a remote cooler between the filter housing and the filter. Just advice from an old timer, good luck with the project!

[@ronniehoyle9671]

Good video, wasn't boring. You said your plans so see how it goes, hopefully no nasty surprises on the way.

[@dirt_and_diesel]

Just hit my first little surprise with it tonight 🙈

[@ronniehoyle9671]

@@dirt_and_diesel go on or is that for your next video 😉. Hopefully nothing too major?

[@daveadams4128]

Loving the vid so far - the 8700 is a massive tractor - never seen one up in Cumbria, looking forward to the next instalment

@14:43 "Nothing really exciting in this video"? Its ALL exciting, its great to see your progress, how things are coming together and hear your plans for it all. Thank you for taking time out to make and share.👍

[@dirt_and_diesel]

Thanks John. It means a lot, when I’m filming and babbling away I don’t know how much of the video is just junk 😂

I think that’s actually catching on now 😂

Just managed yo get caught up. Shes going to be a fun toy when she's done👌👍

Oh yeah, should hope so. Can’t wait for it to be done

Leave the turbo a Ford whistler is a beast .

[@knobchocolate6491]

Will be a beauty

[@Higomad]

You have a bit of a hurdle coming up, the combine uses 8 bolt crankshaft for the flywheel, your original Ford only has 6 bolt crankshaft

[@dirt_and_diesel]

That’s the bit I’m at now, discovered it on Sunday. Bit of fabricating should see us through that bit

[@Higomad]

@@dirt_and_diesel 🤣 only a small hiccup to you , the timing gears at the front are also different tooth angle on later genesis engines will only affect you with running original power steering pump.

[@vintagetractorollie9421]

Great video

[@stubuddle5561]

Good video 😄

[@timothyschofield8046]

The water pump housing may fit with a slight modification, but is the impeller in the original water pump man enough for the combine engine?

[@fatihcinarytu]

I had my doubts about that too. if it were me, I would prefer to bristle the original water pump of the engine, it makes more sense for me to get the movement by modifying the pulleys

[@MrShanbla]

I'd be all for getting new decals that say TX 8700 😅 Weapon of a yoke when you get her all set up I'd say, maybe keep her off the pz haybobs unless you fancy blowing the hay into your neighbours 😂

[@dirt_and_diesel]

Enough revs and I could flirt the hay straight into the shed

[@danielshah4247]

I would try mj Robinson, ask for mark, he’ll get you sorted, u could also try coar agri services he might have what u need👍

[@dirt_and_diesel]

Thanks mate. The video was filmed last week, got one from MJR sorted and it’s already on and bolted up 👍🏻

[@aaronringland9671]

Always heard a combine engine was no good in a tractor. As a combine has a set raves for work. You need to do something with the pump

[@dirt_and_diesel]

Yeah, I think it has something to do with the idle speed but I’ll either cross that bridge when I get to it or leave it as it as it’s not a working tractor, just for messing about with

[@alanchatfield4271]

It's just the way the governer works, that's why they make brilliant motors on generators as they fuel up under load,

[@timothyschofield8046]

The water pump housing may fit with a slight modification, but is the impeller in the original water pump man enough for the combine engine?

[@dirt_and_diesel]

@@timothyschofield8046 it’s a good point. It’s not going to be running at full chat for long like a combine would and I’ve removed most of the additional cooling parts that aren’t needed so I imagine so long as there’s the same flow through as the original motor then I can’t be too far off. I’ll have to keep an eye on it

[@timothyschofield8046]

@@dirt_and_diesel Fair point. But I'd rather have a check now for impeller size and number of vanes than risk having a poor circulation, with some pots running too hot. The new engine is a mighty beast and I'm looking forward to the successful 1st run.

[@casto-]

🤔this seems to be going way to easy 🤣🤦‍♂️. It’s looking good, will you end up painting the block or you staying with the original?

[@dirt_and_diesel]

Noooo don’t jinx it 😂 🤫. I think keep it yeller. Will get people looking at it up close

Don't know if you know about rob chaddock in biddulph. He's got plenty of things about. Also good for spares he keeps most things in stock.

Ah yes, Owd Bobby Chadda! I got sorted for one, I didn’t publish the video for a week which didn’t help the job. Got one sorted and bolted on now. Cheers
