560 Diesel

[racemech]

Wanting more power out of my 560 diesel, don't know which is better engine work or a motor swap. Looking for advice, and who or what works best. Just got into pulling. Thanks

Don't pull a diesel in a 560 unless you have a thing for them. A 301 combine motor is a much cheaper and more powerful way to go. Also better for the do it yourselfer.

You will brake the bank trying to get any thing out of the Diesel. Go with a 301 gas and have fun!

should ask a couple of these gas boys if they will let a 560D turbo run against them or not.
my money says no,but if it is yea I would love to know where they are,still have a 560D and a injection pump for it.

minnesota red, got any pointers to send me in the right direction, with pump work, injector work or anything like that? Everyone down here is the same with gas motors, i'm holding my own with this diesel just cant quite get to them yet. Thanks Jeff

this place used to be called midwest diesel,owners name was Lee.
If Lee is still there he can tell you anything you need to know about what combinations you can run for pump-lines-and injectors.
515-576-5501.
get a copper head gasket when you turbo it,Lubbock gasket in TX is a good place to get one of those.
water injection can be a simple as an old windshield washer pump.
get yourself a steel clutch before you give it too many RPM,should be OK with 28-2900 with the stock one.
bottom end on a 560D should hold around 4500 RPM without mods other than the fuel and valve springs.
don't know how far you want to take it,but you can get over 100hp with a turbo and turning the pump up.
a small T-04 or 3LD schwitser will do wonders for it,you can run without the copper head gasket if you don't let it lug too hard.
if you set the pump to run around 2600 then don't let it pull down past 2100.

thanks minnesota red, new to all this so some of it is a little fuzzy but im figuring it out slowly. Trying to keep the tractor in the field or classic class cause most don't allow turbo's and try to keep them as close to stock as possibly. Lets see the rules read stock or replacement parts only ha ha, which is a thin line when parts are no longer made for the tractor. I'll see if he's still at that business. thanks again...
