Does anybody know if the 1954 VAC 14 was equipped with the 148 CID engine?(same as 311 series) I know the older VAC had the 124 CID motor. My 1954 model has G-148 stamped on the head and is much stronger than a standard VAC. It will pull a 8 ft drag disk over plowed soil in 2nd gear.

Thanks

I grew up on a VAC-14,they are a strong little tractor. You may want to look in a parts book or an operators manual for gear ratio or ground speed. I belive a VAC is a little faster in its first 3 gears than the VAC-14.

For reference: I've got a 1951 VAC with the optional 'High-Altitude' engine (124 cu. in. with 7.25:1 pistons) and it will pull a fully-set 7' drag-disc over dry, plowed ground in 3rd at 5,900 ft. elevation..... :-)

I was comparing my 14 to my grandpa's 1948 VAC that he bought new. A 7 ft drag disk fully set makes her snort in 1st gear over the plowed clay crap we have here in Ohio.

When I said dry I meant DRY, SON....DRY! Our soil here when wet will stop a D-10 Cat but if it's not irrigated it's got the same moisture content and consistency after it's been plowed and disced as new cat litter! The VAC with the H.A. pistons will usually pull a gear higher that another VAC of mine without them but I don't know the complete history on either of them as to possible re-ringing, valve jobs, etc. I used to farm a bit in W. Central Illinois along the Polk Creek and I know what you mean by the 'clay crap'! :-)

Dave, I understand that the va engine can be bored out to take the 300 sleeves and you can put a 300 stroke crank in it. Also have seen where guys put the 300 engine in the vac. Didn't have to change much. Someone on this forum i believe said they had to shave the bell housing down as it is longer. There is a vac on e-bay that they say has a 300 engine in it. Many of the va parts i understand are same as 300. oil pump etc.. They all had the same engine from the
factory however. Continental built them at muskegon untill 45 or 6 i believe but it was the same engine when they moved it to case's rock island plant. You've got a souped up one there. Clauson didn't want a souped up vac that would tread close to the sc so it remained unchanged throughout production.
Have fun
