400 Turbo Charger?

Brandon Snyder · Jun 28, 2008

I have a 400 Farmall. I would like to modify it to get around 80hp. Would anyone have suggestions as to how this could be accomplished? I have heard it could be as simple as adding a turbo charger, or a new crank shaft and pistions. Would anyone know where to get the parts to accomplish the task?

If you really need a tractor with 80 horsepower, You will be money ahead to just go out and buy the tractor with the power you need. You will probably spend less money.

Brandon,
You can get lots of HP out of anything, the secret is just start throwing $$$$. The 400 was the replacement for the Super M and was eventually replaced by the 560. Perhaps you've heard about the tranny and rear end problems on the 560. That 60 horse engine was to much for the M trans/rear which is what was being used(same as a 400). If you are pulling most won't let you use a turbo unless it was stock. If for field use get equipment sized for the tractor or rearend/tran problems.
