I've wondered with all the IH wizards on here, has anyone swapped a 450 C281 into a 560? I know it would be a huge project and a lot of things would have to be changed/fabricated mainly the fuel tank, because the 281 is a lot taller, I think itd be a neat conversion with the 560s features, power steering and hydraulics and tel a depth fast hitch.. I know also it doesn't take much to get a 281 to 560 power levels either along with its torque and reliability, might be a win.. Just daydreaming on a crappy snowy day, wishing spring would get here fast

Pretty much the same challenges as the guy wanting to put a 350 engine in a 504.

Right off the bat it would bolt right up to the bell housing using the 450's rear adapter plate. I think the input shaft and IPTO drive would even line right up with the 450 clutch.

I've been told that a Cummins 5.9 is a nice fit in a 560.

If you cab find a junked diesel 715 combine. That really works well.

Have you considered the 361 that's for sale in the classifieds, that would be my idea of a nice swap.Turn the rpm's down and you would be good to go!

Exactly, it would bolt right up, in my mind the clutch and bell housing would be the hard part, I wonder too if the 450 fuel tank could be made to fit easier?

Keeping the 560 steering shaft where it belongs might be a problem with the 281..

I have a farmall 460 with a farmall H rear end and bell housing, I"m sure the 450 engine in a 560 is possible,
