Q
Dorset 363
Thank you for the information, most valuable. Apart from the transmission connection which doesn't seem too difficult you mention that connecting the hydraulic pump would be "a little challenging". I'm wondering why this would be as the hydraulic pump on the Ford 6000 couples to the crankshaft...- quasistatic

Q
Dorset 363
Why the Dorset 363 and not the Dorset 330 as both are straight 6 engines? The Dorset 330 (Ford 2703E) would have less horsepower (85.5 bhp vs. 96.5 bhp @ 2500 rpm) and therefore be a better match to the OEM Ford 242 straight 6 engine (~66.9 pto hp @ 2430 rpm) found in the Ford 6000 tractors...- quasistatic

Q
Dorset 363
My understanding is that there are two sizes; of the Ford 2701 engine, the Lehman 80 (4D254 or Ford 2701C) and the Lehman 70 (4D242 or Ford 2701E). Both of these are 4 cylinder engines rather than 6 cylinders. So I believe it is the Ford 2701E that has a displacement equal to the Ford 6000...- quasistatic

Thank you Fritz for the response. If rebuilding the existing Ford 6000 tractor engine (Ford diesel 242) is possible then I completely agree that it is preferable as I found that engine long-lived and well performing until my brother forgot to check the oil (even a great engine will burn some...- quasistatic

Q
Dorset 363
I am looking for a diesel solution. Putting in another worn 242 is a possibility for me but doesn't excite me much, equally a gasoline solution. Something where parts are available for a diesel engine would be a much better option to restore these tractors and give me the motivation to do it...- quasistatic

Q
Dorset 363
Is anyone aware of any engine that is available that can be used to replace the Ford 242 diesel in the Ford 6000 tractor? Maybe a Ford industrial engine?- quasistatic

Q
Allis 7580 steering problem
I recently bought a 7580. I was operating it when my steering went dead. It had been acting kind of sluggish. I changed the filter and fluid but still nothing. I cracked the pressure line and there is nothing. Maybe I need to prime it? I have pressure at the clutch line however.- quasistatic
