Gleaner E motor

[allisboy]

im thinking about putting a gleaner E motor in my WD45, we have been having engine problems and i want a little more horsepower, im wondering what you would have to pay to get an engine that runs with no problems.

I have a couple of E engines, one is stuck. I know nothing about them otherwise. I keep the manifold, carb, starter and gen, you get your pick for $300 cash and carry. I am located 50 miles SE of St. Louis (62257). You understand that you would need to change the governor since the setup for the E is 1400 RPM.

You'll need to swap over the D17 governor as the E governer is meant to run at idle or wide open and not much in between. Jerry - the E & EIII 226 engines had the same rated engine speed of 1650 as the D17 tractors. I own both a D17 and an EIII plus I checked an operator's manual I have for a straight E and they are all 1650. Mike
