i know that Case experimented w/ diesel in the early-mid 50's using the LA as a template. they tried the Hesselman design in the rare LAH but it wasnt a true diesel. they adapted the engine other ways but even though the engine appeared big n' beefy, it couldnt handle the heat and compession, and often grenaded during early tests. the early models w/ a successful working 6 cyl were called LADs before given the designation "model 500".

ive seen a JD w/ a 2 stroke GM diesel but not a Case w/ a detroit diesel.

hope you find what your looking for

Just curious--what is a Hesselman design engine?
Never heard of it.

Thanks

im not exactly sure either. im just reading the exerpt from my Case Tractors Buyers Guide.

"In 1942, Case introduced the standard LAH and industrial LAIH which featured the Case engine modified to accommodate the use of diesel fuels. The design, known as the Hesselman engine, was not a true diesel. Rather, it was a fuel-injected, spark-ignited engine. By 1949, Case had built approximately 450 tractors with the Hesselman engine."

now, fuel injected i can understand. but spark ignited? HUH? those injector nozzles must be microscopic to get the proper ppm for diesel to burn w/ a spark plug.

anyway, hope this helps

Oliver (white) used the GM 2 stroke (screaming Jimmy's) quite a bit in the early/mid 60's

A guy about 15 miles from here had a GM equiped Oliver. Really gutless. Had to run a gear lower to keep the rpm's up.

I used to have a LA with a 3/71 Detroit, we have a LA with a 4/71 and a LAI with a 3/71 in our club. I know of several LAs with Detroits in them. Detroit developed a kit for the conversion in the 50s. I have copies of the original conversion instruction from Detroit. They also made kits for a D Case,M and W6 IH, G moline and early 99 Olivers. There were many conversions done in wheat country. Later Bill
