cub loboy

did IH ever put a diesel motor in a cub loboy.. i seem to remember seeing one, but not sure if i did or if i thought i did. have a nice day

as far as i know not in a domestic built lowboy. i remember see a french built i-h around a lowboy size that was a diesel, cant remember the model number tho.

French built IHC probably had CIMA name on it (Company International manufacture agricultural-rough sort of literal translation word order) French made some small diesels about 2 liter for Peugot, Hotchkiss made went into Jeeps, similar size was in the near equivalnt to B250, B275 models made in England in 1960s. Not sure if Simca or some other manufacturer was making a contract engine for CIMA like Continental made 350D engine for IHC. RN.

In 1954 IH Neuss (Germany) built the first Farmall DLD-2 (D=German, Light Diesel - 2 cylinder). This was meant to be the diesel equivalent of a Cub. It had a 2 cylinder 66 cub inch engine running at 1750 rpm producing 12 to 14 HP (DIN) (numbers vary in different references). 5 speed gear box, 540 rpm pto, and later ones had a cat 1 3pt linkage. Total production 5480.
In 1956 this was replaced by the Farmall D-212 (German, 2 cylinder 12 HP (DIN))with 6 speed gearbox and differential lock. 3602 built plus 150 Dairy-Special versions, largely for the Netherlands.
There was also a more powerful version the D-217 Farmall which had the engine bore increased and engine speed increased to 1900 rpm to give 17 HP (DIN)
In 1958 the D-212 Farmall was replaced by the D-214 Standard (they found that the high clearance was not so desirable in Europe and that a standard arrangement (like the Ford, Ferguson or International B-275) was more desireable). There were 8046 D-214 built until it was followed by the D-215 in 1962. Production of the D-215 finished in 1964 with production of 2318 tractors.
IH Komatsu in Japan built a 2 cylinder standard type tractor model 232 possibly that used the same 66 cub inch 2 cylinder diesel. The only change in the D-215 over the D-214 was the 15 hp (SAE) versus 14 HP (DIN) (same engine same speed) was the provision of side lights on the fenders and the wheels were all white as against the earlier red with white rims.

thanks for the good responce and the info..i suppose i could have been day dreaming that day when i thought i saw one with diesel engine..

Did any of that series have a hydrostatic transmission? My gut feel is that it didn't, but when the Cadet came out with one, it would have made sense to do it with the larger unit also.
Sorry for hijacking the thread.
