Ford 2110LCG engine HP

I have a 1971 ford 2110LCG (Diesel) that I'm trying to determine the engine model.

According to TractorData.com, there were two different diesel engines used in this tractor during this timeframe (37HP 158cubic inch and a 46HP 175cubic inch).

Any way on the tractor to physically tell which engine it is?

Thanks.
 
Tractordata is a great resource but it is not always perfectly accurate.
I'm not sure about engine HP.
These tractors were generally rated by PTO HP.
The 2000 and 3000 gassers both used a 158 ci engine.
4.2 bore X 3.8 stroke.
There have been discussions here in the past and it was generally agreed that the the 4 hp bump the 3000 had over the 2000 was by governing the 3000 engine about 150 rpms faster and possibly by using different jetting in the carb.
That though doesn't apply to your diesel.
The 2000 diesel used the same 158 ci to produce around 33 hp.
The 3000 diesel used a longer stroke - 4.2 bore X 4.2 stroke = 175 ci to produce about 37 hp.

edit:
About the only way I know to determine whether you have a 158 or 175 would be to pull an injector and measure the stroke.
.4" difference would be easy to read on a ruler.
 
Tractordata actually got one right...
I was going to look that model up in my sales literature to see if
the engine option was spelled out in the model number. But I
lent that book to a neighbor a few days ago.
There should be a series of numbers stamped on the oil pan rail
and/or the right front mounting boss. We -may- be able to
figure out which it is from those.
 
Thanks Ultradog.

What's your opinion on using the 2110LCG with SOS for plowing with a 2-bottom plow? Any issues/concerns with using the SOS transmission for plowing?
 
According to my references, the 3 cylinder 2000 series only ever used a 158 ci engine for both gas and diesel. The 3000 series used the 158 ci gas engine as well, but it used a 175 ci diesel engine. The parts site doesn't show the 2110 LCG using a different crankshaft from the rest of the 2000 series either. According to the parts site, all 3 cylinder 2000 series diesels used a crankshaft with a 3.8" stroke.
 
General rule of thumb is 20 hp per bottom on a plow, and that's drawbar power, not engine power, so a 2110 is going to struggle with a 2 bottom plow in anything but soft light soil.
 
As long as it's been maintained properly and it's in proper adjustment it should pull as well, or maybe even better, than a manual. With all of those extra gears to choose from, and the shift on the fly you can downshift while moving if you need to without stopping. It's much harder with a manual, as you have to clutch to shift and then the wheels stop moving and you have to try to get it moving again from a dead stop. Unless you've seriously over weighted it, it will break traction and spin the tires long before any damage can be done to the drive train. Don't forget to put the 3 point lift in draft control mode.
 

2110 is a shibaura with 34 pto hp. It shows a 4 cyl 139 ci 4 cyl engine Tractor weight is 3460 for 2wd, 3590 for 4wd. introduced in 1984 to 1986. In 1987 it was replaced with a 2120...

There were two different tractors that Ford called a 2110. The one that this thread is about is the Low Center of Gravity (LCG) chassis version of the 1965-1975 3 cylinder 2000 series. He has stated several times that it has the Select-O-Speed transmission. No Shibaura made Fords ever had the S-O-S transmission.
