what to repower a g955 with perkins available

pntfrmr · Sep 7, 2020

What would you need to put a 354 perkins in a G955? Has anyone done this on the newer white versions with the 1955 oliver rear ends in them?

Oliver 1850 tub and engine. Even if you want to use a combine engine, you need the 1850 engine to scavenge parts from. They only have
three motor mount bolts, two at the bell housing and one in front. There's a "yolk" for lack of a better word for it, that goes around
the engine front cover and bolts in the center of the tub. You'll need that mount and front cover, and since you've used that cover, you
need the Oliver pan. In addition, you need the water pump, tappet cover, rear side cover, oil filter base, oil cooler, oil pump plumbing
since the filter base is on the other side of the engine, the throttle linkage and injector lines since the linkage has to run through
them and the combine just uses a cable. Oh ya, manifolds too. Check the manifold bolt pattern, some are horizontal, some are diagonal.

no its a parts tractor actually bought it from a guy who's dad bought it new in 74. but it sit in a hay meadow for the last 10 years someone stole the radiator and hood panels. I found some of the parts but since i bought a oliver and am going to put the shift linkage and over/under 3 speed in it and if i can get the motor apart will use it to rebuild my g 900 buddy needed the hydraulic pump so i let him have it it is in really bad shape after sitting that long .
