I am looking for a project and love the look of the ford tractors now i have found a ford 600 jubilee for cheap and i just finished rebuliding a 2-71 detroit diesel i want to put the detroit in this tractor has anybody heared of this being done or is it a idea or bad idea any comments
 
don't use a 600jubilee.. they are wayy too rare.. you own the only one.

:)

there are NAA/jubilees,

and then there ar 600 series tractors.

simialr looking but different. :) especially int he hyds and drivetrain.. actually.. everything from the flywheel back is fairly different..

all are designed around a 30ish hp power plant.

can it be done? sure.. just about ANYTHING can be done...
 
The better question might be wether or not the engine can handle the drivetrain...
I can think of a lot better things to do that fit a screaming, leaking, 2 cylinder vibrating gutless wonder into half decent tractor chassis.
I've often said... that 53 and 71 series detroits were the most efficient means known to man for converting diesel fuel into smoke and noise.

we have some 353 and 453 at work. the 353 are in old steel wheel limerock and finish rollers ( road work ).. and they are a loud bunch!
 
68 HP @2000 rpm. I can forsee shelled out clutch hub rivets, Broken axle shafts, sheared ring gear rivets. And of course, oil on the garage floor.

Joe,
I understand your desire to use such a cool little engine. Does it run good and all that?
What was it in originally? Thanks.
It would fit better in a John Deere LA however.
My thoughts would be to set a 4 cyl Isuzu diesel into one. Manufacture a structural pan for it so none of those tacky side arms.
The NAA/Jubilee can easily be distinguised from the later 600s by looking at the rear axle hub.
If it has a big - about 2 1/2" nut in the center it is a Jube and I would not put 68 horse in front of it.
Of course for show it wouldn't matter.
 
That would be a fairly hot one to make 68 hp...
I'd think there a higher probability that it will shake the rivets out first.

"The JD 435 had a DD 2-53 rated at 30 hp"

You are confusing engine HP and PTO HP. Also, the 2-53 was derated with smaller injectors in the 435; an earlier Allis HD5 crawler was rated at 47 belt HP using the 2-53 with different fueling and perhaps higher compression.
 
I've seen worse.

I am re-powering my 821 backhoe loader
with an original 172. It had a 62 jeep four
banger.
Used jeep flywheel, ford clutch and pressure
plate, and a sledge hammer to beat out an
opening on the bell housing for the starter.

Talk about under powering!!
 
A 2-71 in an LA! Surely, you jest.

The 2-71 makes far more HP than any hundred series Ford and probably weighs more than the LA.

I do agree, however, that it is certainly not a good match for a hundred series tractor.

It would make a great generator engine.

The 2-53 pulled 32.91 PTO HP loafing along at 1850 RPM in the JD 435 in NE test 716, 08-18 Sep., 1959, and, yes, it was significantly derated.

The 2-53 is capable of over 50 PTO HP in similar applications.

Unlike many, I like Detroits but your proposed project does not seem practical.

Of course, it could be done but it is not a good match and the drivetrain is not up to the power output or the weight of the engine.

Your 2-71 would make a great generator engine.

71 series is pretty tall. At the very least the fuel tank would have to be relocated. I'm not sure a 2-71 would even fit under the hood. A 2-53 would be a much closer match.
