For sale now on eBay.

Wonder what's in there to turn the power line 90 degrees, and how the clutch / transmission respond to a three fold increase in horsepower.

Last I checked, 3 window Deuce coupes were going for more than $8,000. Maybe the engine was better left where it started out in life. Sorry for any offense to JD purists.

If this is the tractor I think it is,I'm pretty sure that my friends and I saw it last winter. The guy who built this is a old machinest, he's got a 100/hp 90 degree gear box mounted in the crank case, did a nice nice job of building it and uses it only for parades and shows.

Saw an unstyled G with a GM 350 Diesel at Portland Indiana 3-4 years ago. Didn't see it run but understood they did have it running. Had a 90 degree gearbox where the crank was.

they are asking way too much, I think, altho it is a neat rig. Ford V-8 conversions into the 8N tractors have also been made, there was a company (Funk, I think) that at the time the 8N's were new offered the conversions. They worked well, especially for PTO work, but one wanted to be careful not to overload the drive train in drawbar work. The engine was about 100HP at around 3,000-3,500 RPM, but when governed down to tractor RPM's, they put out about 45-50 HP. still not bad for circa 1952.

Just like all of these conversions I've seen, I don't really understand the reasoning, but at least the guy used an engine of approximately the same vintage and did a halfway decent job of installing it. It's much better than some of the butcher and baling wire jobs you see from time to time.
