Maybe they had an engine laying around a tractor that needed one? It would certainly make a machine out of that 460!
There was a guy on the Red Power board some years back that re-powered a 706 with a 301, was pretty well received.

It looks like it may be setup for pulling, but I'm not sure what class it could run in. It actually fits in there pretty well.

I decided to post over there too so we'll see what those folks say. Haha.

I completely missed it the first time I scanned through that listing. Really wish we knew the backstory on it. It fits way better than I would'v expected.

I don't know anything about the AC engines that new. A little research tells me those came in Gleaner combines too... and there are plenty of Gleaner combines around here that get worn out but the engines still run. Is there a way to tell from the pictures if that was possibly an old combine engine the guy had laying around or got cheap/free?

Its a later model 301 because it has two oil filters. The oil cooler looks like the one on my 940 loader. Im not sure but i think its different from whats on a 200 tractor. Ive never seen a 301 in a combine so i dont know how they are arranged
