Overland660
New User
I have a 59 international 660. A couple years ago the tractor died and wouldn't start. I tore into it and found the shaft in the injector pump was broken. Diesel Algae. I
sent the pump to a shop and was told they can't rebuild it because the shaft was broken and that meant it was something in the pump that was causing too much pressure.
So, I started looking for a 660 pump. I found one but they would not take my core because of the broken shaft. I finally found a place that said they had a pump. I gave
them the numbers off the pump and they said we were good to go. So, I bought it and the one I was sent is for a 560. I don't know a lot about the details of these pumps
but I have read what I could find about them on google searches and in my manual. I know the 660 runs at 2400 rpm and the 560 is an 1800 rpm. I also know when timing this
pump to the motor that the 560 should be set at 3* BTDC and the 660 at 5* BTDC. I have read in several unrelated articles to set it at 7* BTDC, is this true for better
power, fuel savings, but harder to start? My question here is what is the real difference in the pumps between a 560 and 660? It is difficult to find a 660 pump (2400
rpm) but easy to find a 560 pump (1800 rpm.) So can I use this one and still have a true 660? if I time it at 5* BTDC? Or am I going to have a 560 hp rated 660? Thanks
for any info you guys can give me.
