I heard a very interesting conversation this morning at the liars table and wondered if some one could shed some light. I heard that a MM engineer left and came to Case and used a lot of the split block and other engine technology to build the Case 4 and 6 cyl.Any one else ever heard that ?

Did they quote a time frame that this happened, are they questioning Gas or Diesel design as I don"t remember reading anything about this but I am willing to go back and look for any information I might be able to find? I do remember that some folks came from John Deere and vice versa over the years but I cannot recall MM

I cannot say for sure but I think the reference had a lot to do with the split block system so what era would you say that started in, and yes I think having more mains made the Case more bullet proof

The book states "In 1948 the J.I.case Company hired Hans Fisher a german consultant engineer, to provide the expertise needed to develop a Diesel engine for Case. Fisher previously headed the Lanova corporation who were resposible for the Lanova SYstem in the Mack, Buda, Continental and Minneapolis-Moline engines." it goes on to talk about the bearing design being done "to accommodate the rugged Case tractor design Philosophy." so it appears they were half right?

Never heard anybody else say it but it makes sense. Alot of the bore and strokes are the same. Both split head design. MM however never caught on to putting more than 3 mains in a dsl
