A friend came over asking about a 1256 with a rod bearing failure and crankshaft damage. After some research I have come to realize that it uses a 407 turbocharged engine.
It seems that the 407 is somewhat unusual.. Should he be seeking used crank options, used engine options or attempt to repower with a later model engine?
What applications used the 407 for a possible transplant? I noted that the 856 also used a 407, but I assume being that it was NA, that it likely has different internals?
I read all of the archived posts that I could find on the subject.. It seems that the 466 turbocharged can be installed with the use of 66 or 86 frame rails plus flywheel and clutch from the same tractor?
What are the best options here? I'm sort of "in the know" on the green but not very sharp on the red. I'm sure he would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
