2,000--3,000 dollars. The 426 engine did not fare well when pushed over 150 PTO HP.

True about the 426, but you have to turn down the rpm,s to around 2350, then they live a long life

Factory Hi idle was set at 2800-2850 RPM's, which was simply too fast for the engine, but better for the transmission, which was why that was done. Slowing that down to 2550 to 2600 RPM is a very good idea. Leaving the HP set at no more than 180 HP is an even better idea. These tractors were built in a time where when the Customer was buying 180 HP, he expected it to be "turned-up" to 220 HP and that in itself was the eventual death of the engine.
