1855 5.9 Repower

9724VF350

Tractor Guy
I rebuilt this tractor from end to end about 10 years ago. At that time, if a part was available brand new, it got put in. If not, rebuilt or perfect used parts were used. It was as close to a new tractor as possible.

Recently the customer had another tractor that had the engine go down, so they decided to repower this one and use the engine to keep the other tractor running.

Being front wheel assist caused some oil pan fitment issues that I've never has to deal with on other repowers. I ended up cutting the pan off about 4 inches below the block and started over. I added depth to the front section of the pan to get some oil capacity back. It ended up holding 4 gallon of oil.

Using the original frame on this model means you have to remove the original motor mounts. this pic is from another repower and you can see where the bottom opening in the frame needs opened up for a 5.9 oil pan. The rear axle support on this one bolts into the 4 holes about in the middle of the frame.

Getting everything to fit under the hood, come out in the original holes in the hood, and look decent takes a little bit of plumbing.

Looks amazing! The front shaft slider should never seize...

Yup, I realized that after I was done. The original pan had the drain in the center, as did the 5.9 pan that I started with. I never gave it a thought. Next one will be moved off center.
 
Looks very nice do u make your own flywheels?

Not for this application. They're available new, I usually keep several on hand. I can sell them for less than I'd charge to make them on a manual mill and lathe. They're way way more involved than a truck flywheel and about 3 times as thick. Worst part is I could have easily paid for a nice machining center just off flywheel sales in the last 3 years.
