There was one of these offered for sale out of either Iowa or Nebraska in the last 3 or 4 months on ebay. I don't remember what it sold for but Don Livingston was outbid in the last hour. He probably could tell you more about it. Looked like quite a tractor. Nice paint job & those big tires & engine. Chuck

Thaks guys, actually the starter is at the bell housing end, thats the oil filter at the front just under the blower.

Old GMC cracker boxes the blower was on the right side as was in most semis.

A 6-71 with a turbo and 70 injectors should be around 300 hp. I just couldn't comprehend how the drive line took it.

I was trying to determine if it was origonal or not. Like I said memeory isn't what it used to be.

It could have been in a buss originaly as they turned backward and the blocks on 71 series detroits could be put in any direction. Therefore if a guy wanted to work hard enough at it you could put one together about any way if you had enough parts from 2 motors.

Looking at it further....

I see it looks like they put the engine in backwards.

The blower is normally on the other (LH) side on the 4-71 LAs and every other Detroit 2 stoke I've seen.

Also note the cam shaft/accessory drive is towards the rear of the tractor rather than out front.

The starter is also located in front rather than near the tractors clutch housing.

I studied it wondering if maybe it was a flopped negative, but that wouldn't account for the accessory drive and starter being swapped end to end. Must have been quite a job shoehorning that big rascal in there.

Detroit Diesels are like tinker toys -- you can put them together any way you want to. They can have the flywheel on either end, they can have the blower drives from the front/from the rear from the left/from the right. They are a thing of the past as far as diesel power is concerned but they were a work of art from an engineering point of view.

I used to hate to have to work on them but used to marvel at their ingenuity considering they were designed in the 20"s.

Not only is that engine long enough, but judging from the length of the blower case, it probably is a 6-71. That thing is turbo'd on top of that. I bet that thing is just as loud as it is MEAN! Wow! What a machine.

Its a Case LA with a Detroit conversion. Many famers did it to gain more HP than was offered in the standard tractors of that era. The most popular diesel was the 4-71 but thats not saying that someone didn't get a 6-71 into one. Never seen one, only the 4-71's at shows.
