New to the forum, seeing there is lots of knowledge and good general discussion here, looking to get in on the action.
Have a bit of a project we're gathering parts for right now planning to do this winter, this is what we're planning on doing here. Have a 3010 gas tractor with a bad engine, through some horse trading acquired a very low hour 239 engine with a turbo on it. From looking on here I think I know the large parts we need, 2510/2520 frame rails, pump stand, and bell housing adapter from a 4030. The problem is the SCV valve under the hood, it will be in the way of the turbo as it sits now. So talking with a friend of mine he suggested taking the valve and making it a side counsel tractor. I don't think it will be that difficult to do, looking over the tractor.
My question is has anybody done this? Made a 3010/4010 or early 3020/4020 a side counsel like this? Has anybody else seen this engine conversion into a 3010/3020 either? Thanks in advance
