| Wondering if it would be better to put a 226 gas engine in a d17 or a 262 diesel. |

| What chassis do you have now ?? If it is a GAS chassis, you must stay with a G-226 gas engine. If it is a DIESEL chassis you must stay with the D-262 diesel or G-262 gas engine family. The clutch shafts between the 226 and 262 families are different lengths. The side frames length are also 3 inches different and the hoods, etc. |

| So to engine swap it it will be a big deal. |

| Yep, lots of differences between the two. Even the lower steering shaft, and the fuel tank, radiator, throttle linkages, etc, etc…. Additionally, the 262 diesel has quite a few inherent problems that are costly and time consuming to fix, and parts availability is a real problem for them also. |

| No I don’t have an engine for it seen it on Facebook it’s a gas series one I thought it would be pretty cool to put a Diesel engine in it if it was easy and cheap Thanks. |

I saw a guy put the diesel side rails hood etc on a 226 gasser for tractor pulling. In Nebraska, not sure how much of an an advantage it would be ??? Thought it was interesting. ------------- The Allis "D" Series Tractors, Gravely Walk behind Tractors, Cowboy Action Shooting !!!!!!! And Checkmate |

Always wanted to make my old D17 series I diesel into a 6 cyl 262 gas puller. Most places would not care but thier's a few antique rules book pulls that would not allow.... So I just made my 4 cyl gas big cube.... I guess there's gotta be some rules... ------------- The Allis "D" Series Tractors, Gravely Walk behind Tractors, Cowboy Action Shooting !!!!!!!
