1650 and 1655 Repower

Hey guys,

I am looking at repowering both a 1650 and a 1655. Besides stock engines, are there any engine(s) that will bolt into these tractors with very little or no modification? If so what engine(s) would you recommend as a simple and efficient repower?

Thanks for any help!
 
Gas or diesel? For pulling only or farm use? Are you looking for more power? Whats the reason you don't want to use a waukesha? My opinion, its hard to beat the waukesha for a good combination of power and fuel economy. Don't put a straight six automotive gas engine in it. I can't see how they could be an improvement. I don't think there is a simple swap unless your putting in a 310, which will bolt right in. If you want more power and reliability, plus a quick and simple swap thats the way to go. A gas or a direct injected non-turbo 310 can easily make 100 horse if its built with all the updates and some upgrades in the injection system. I've heard of people swapping a cummins but that would require a different tub, most likely from an 1850 diesel. If your on a budget stick with a waukesha.
 
a 310 fits right in. You can get plenty of power out of a 310. Most
people love the rigid durability of the 283 that is stock in the
1650/1655
 
The 283 is a pretty good motor. I saw on Maibach tractors website that they offer parts for a cummins conversion. This will cost some money but make a nice tractor.

Would have to be a diesel engine(s). Tractors would be used for light farm use, maybe the odd pull. I don't have anything against Waukesha engines, it's just neither tractor has an engine in it so whatever will fit in without too much work I will consider.
