putting a diesel in a farmall h

[BJBergersen]

I'm thinking about putting a diesel in my h.I was told a farmall 350d motor will go right in.is that possible or do I have to do a lot of other work before it will go in

Though it would sure be a easy replacement if a donor 350D Farmall was a few feet away, and if (and only if) it was 100% operational and low hour.
A Perkins engine is far far better in every aspect. Power, Starting, Efficiency, Cost of parts, Availability (engine and parts), life expectancy, and resale value. Several perkins implants are out there. Very neat.

You're gonna have to put an awful lot of hours on an H to recoup the cost of a good diesel engine. But if you just like doing something like that go ahead.

Had a neighbor at put a 345 v8 Ih gas motor out of a truck into an M. Said it bolted right in. When he was done it looked like it was factory.

Or, you could just look around for a Farmall M with a Sheppard diesel conversion. That was one of the best Farmall Hs ever. (;>))

It bolted right in... after 20 hours on a Bridgeport

This was in the late 70s and the guy that did it said all he had to make was the front motor mount. Of course that don't mean he was telling the truth, but it had all the original tin work on it including hood, grill fan shrouds and gas tank. Looked like it came from the factory only with 2 mufflers on the sides sort of like the 1468's have. He pulled it at the county fairs for many years, never did well, but looked great.

Perkins conversions were the feature theme at the tractor show in Newark, England. I don't know much about Nashers, but there were a couple of models in there that I never had seen converted before.

I have seen a Ford V-8 in a Farmall M , and it looked factory.

Thanks for the photo Sam, there was a Farmall H just a bit thurther down with a Perkins P4 fitted. Perkins offerd a P3 convertion for the H and a L4 convertion for the M. MJ

hey, if you find a 460 diesel, you can bolt in the 6cyl into the H bellhousing. it would be a 460 from the bell forward, and H from bellhousing back. you can even adapt over 460 sheet metal.

use a D188 froma 504 its a 4 cyl. version of the 282 diesel, will bolt right in
