@Hankasauruss That's all the same, JD decided to make one tractor and give it engine options

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

8560 Cummins 855, had a 7.6L John Deere, the 855 is 14L. Simple enough swap, the sound alone is worth it

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@philip_buhler Yup mine was a low flow also, bought a parted out Gen engine to fix that, had to install a variable speed gov aka “constant power” gov. Onto the truck pt pump

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@cartersproat @DirtOnMyBoots The electronic engines would worke in all applications

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@philip_buhler How’s yours for keeping cool?

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@RobertsAmor @philip_buhler You have experience with them?

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@YoJimBo1756692 Ya the 7.6JD wasn’t a bad engine, used in most 9600 combines, just gets severely abused in the 4wd tractor

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@cartersproat @DirtOnMyBoots You’re absolutely correct, Cypress colony has a couple PT pumps from dozers with 855cummins they’re parting. Bills Diesel in Winnipeg added that Variable speed gov to the truck pump

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@jcalder1983 @brian_butler80 Have to agree, I think the early 60 series were best, no emissions at all. I think the 70 series mostly all had integrated autotrac which gave them the ‘best combine” title.

@HorseShoeHillby @Grainline1 Want to see how u did the exhaust and intake pipes

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@DieselOrDeath Ya, depends how u use it, I have 2 of these, the other one is in much better shape, I pull a 36ft seed hawk and grain cart, fine tractor for that. Pulled an 18ft Salford rts this spring and 8mph it was maxed out. Made me realize how weak the 7.6 is, basically can’t do tillage

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@Telly06854274 Where can a guy get one of those? Be awesome thou

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@DirtOnMyBoots That was another engine I’d consider but not as avaliable, got this one from an L9000 ford truck, sold the chassis, basically got the engine for free

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@allis_farmer170 That’s correct, Gratton Collee Salvage has 89’s they’re parting out, shortened the driveshaft 4” thru Westrans and made the front engine mount. You’ll also need the flywheel from the 89, dampener is the same as the 85

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@ren_withrow I’m sure it’ll use more fuel but maybe not? 855’s were & are all around a great engine for tractors

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@HorseShoeHillby @Grainline1 Do u have pictures, curious how u got it to work? I found a rear engine mount from an 8960, that was a critical piece, also shortened the drive shaft 4”

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@HorseShoeHillby @Grainline1 I removed the air to air also in hopes it’ll flow more air, I plan to put a large plastic fan on it also

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@Grainline1 I have yet to put this in the field, did the engine stay cool with the 8870 rad and fan?

[Paul Devloo @PDevloo]

@BDuchek Yup, the 7.6 was done in it, tractor has 10000hrs, I want more power, enjoy a challenge
