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 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. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

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? ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

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 ------------- 1984 80780 1957 D14 DES 300 with 25000 engine 616 tractor |
