E Gleaner Engine

[Gariana]

I have a few questions about this engine. Will they run 2300rpms and handle it well? And do these engines have a set speed gov or do I need a gov from a WD/45/D17? Im planing to put one in a tractor this winter so if anyone has one running id be interested. Im in SW Indiana. Thanks.

The throttle on those engines only over rides the governor. As far as holding up at 2300 RPMs, I doubt they would stay together for long at that speed as that is nearly 50% above factory governed speed. Factory governed speed was 1650.

I put an Gleaner E engine on a WD-45 tractor. I had the old tractor engine and transfered the Governer mechanisim over to the gleaner engine but kept the spin-on Oil Filter. It is a good upgrade since the combine engines are almost free and more powerful engines. You should try to do it right with the correct control linkages.

Ok thank you I was going to use this engine in something other than a Allis. I have a belt driven gov that ill try out.

Well okay. That is a different story.2300 Rpm is out of the question but they were made to run at a governered speed all day long as the other reader mentioned 1650 RPM(not confirmed). On a combine there is idle speed and then operating speed wide open and it is governed or the engine would blow up on a down hill turn which it doesn't do. Sure at half throttle there is control but maybe not as good as a Allis tractor would have but then sounds like you have your own project you are trying. Go for it and good luck.

use the tractor gov.assembly,buy a 175 allis tractor gov.spring about$40,this should give you about 2000 rpm's no-load.
