How can I tell the difference between a 230cid and a 262cid both of them came out from a combine. The 262 that I have has a tag on the block that tell me want it is but the other motor doesn't. The untagged motor is currently in a WD frame and is froze up. This one was set up to run a saw mill and the man who did it is no longer with us. I would like replace it with the 262 motor. Can I just swop these two motors? ------------- Ken R. |

| They are much the same on the outside so should swap. Don't know if they used 2 different water pump locations on gas engines like diesels. |

OK - I believe I got what I need. I have a guy that wants the 262 and he has a 230 that he wants to do a trade with some extra cash. I need to find out if his 230 is in workable condition first. The 262 that I have rolls over but I have not hear it run. Maybe I should do a quick tune-up add some gas connect a battery cross a wire or two and try to start it. Oh and thanks for the replies. ------------- Ken R. |

Your Dad’s 1953-57 gleaner A had the Hercules QLXD 6-237 engine @55hp. And before then, the 1950-52 Gleaner A had the Ford 6-226 engine @70hp. These early engine configurations would have also applied to the Gleaner model B & R. Allis-Chalmers purchased Buda engine Company in 1953 and Gleaner Harvester Corp in 1955. |

Thanks, dad had the engine rebuilt in around 1970, but the machine was ran until 1990 on a much smaller scaled operation .
