Myron; I stopped and looked at the WD45 just east of Port Hope. He done a real nice job of putting in the Dodge slant 6. He said that the 6 didnt use any more fuel than the orig engine, but had lots more power. They farmed with it for about 10 yrs. The duals look cool. It even has a belt driven govenor on it.

I had a look at it some years back, but never talked to the owner. It has been sitting in that same spot for over 5 years. Is it for sale? I don't need it, just curious. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| I thought the hood looked unusually long. Looking closer I can see that the hood and the frame have both been extended. |

It is for sale, $2500. His son made the adapter plate to mate the engine to torque tube. The original flywheel was machined to fit the crank so he could retain the original starter. The guy that owns it was a partner in a Dodge dealership back in the day. They farmed with Allis and his brother still has a 180.

That's different, at least they put a governor on to keep it from going way to fast in roadgear. I have to wonder how tractors that have an automotive engine swapped in actually work, since the tractor is designed to operate at what is essentially a fast idle on the new engine. I am reminded of a story my Dad used to tell. His uncle had a Ford (8N I thnk) with a six cylinder Ford truck engine, (I think it was a Funk conversion, but am not sure). Dad said his cousin could pull a load of wheat to the elevator about 45 mph; which didn't seem safe to me even when I was ten years old. Robert

I know that there were quite a few Chrysler slant sixes as well as 240/300 Fords used for industrial purposes like wood chippers and such.
I once heard that those engines had a different cam that allowed them to develop
their HP and torque at a lower RPM.
Years ago I picked up one of those neat belt driven governors; it has a tag on it with a
Ford part number.
Always thought I would use it some day if I repowered one of my WDs.

Brian I have seen that 45 a number of times too. Always figured it was a diesel because of the long hood. Gary S

My uncle Carl mounted a V-8 is vintage Case tractor once. He was going to use it in timber but it didn't work well. His problem was engine over heating as if the engine cooling needed highway speed air flow over the block or that at tractor speed the water pump didn't move enough water. A few years ago, Valu-bilt had a $275 belt driven governor in their catalog. I looked recently on their web site and they have a different brand now at about twice that price. So it would appear that there is enough market applying vehicular engine to application needing speed control that such universal governors are a stock item. Gerald j. |
