2000 vs 3000 engine

Catskill Pete · Apr 16, 2015

I am giving a friend of mine a hand with his 3cyl. 3000 tractor. The engine in it pretty much damaged beyond practical and cost effective repair, so we are looking at a used engine. I see that the 2000 has the same basic specs, cubic inches, bore and stroke etc. as the 3000.So my question is from a basic block stand point are the engines interchangeable, or is there some other factor that I don't see.

Yes, the 3 cyl engines swap. If you keep fuel and air breather setup the same it's pretty drop in.

OK thanks for info, it expands the shopping possibilities considerably.

Technically...
It depends on whether you are talking about a gas or diesel.
Both 2000 and 3000 gassers used the exact same 158 ci engine. 4.2 bore X 3.8 stroke. The 3000 was governed about 150 rpm faster and likely had different jetting in the carb to give it the 4 or 5 bump in HP.
The 2000 diesel used a 158 and the 3000 diesel used a 175 ci - 4.2 X 4.2.
Any 3 cylinder engine will physically interchange. 2000, 3000, 4000, 2600, 3600, 4600, 3910 etc - 158, 175, 183, 192 or 201 ci
