Are you planning on changing from red to Prarie Gold???? I myself have done this. You can get a lot more easy H.P. out of the Gold and it is reasonably cheap. So many things interchange. ----deadeye

You bet deadeye! That's the best thing about these machines is 1930's through the 1970's have relatively interchangeable pieces and motors if you know what you are doing. I have not figured out the cheap part yet except you can bolt pieces together to get cubes and compression without doing major boring and sleeving. The big heads cool and breathe well too. The other manufacturers had some tough stuff (especially Case) but a lot of money goes to boring and stroking. It would be interesting to hear succesful MM diesel projects, including ChadS 's 585 Vista.

I was referring to the cheapness in comparison of HP from boring and stroking. With MM you can do a lot of it yourself without taking it to someone else for the machine work just by the exchange method as you mentioned. It is sometimes fun just to see what a person can dream up and what will work and what won't.----deadeye

You bet deadeye! With MM you could build some pretty neat things from several different tractors. I've done a little block or crank swapping myself but nothing too fancy, and to confirm your point, nothing too expensive. The last UB has done quite well. Always curious about a crank swap in a diesel and if it would hold up. The only swapping I hear of in other brands is whole motors or heads like Farmall 450 or Allis D17 motors.
