How hard would it be to repower an oliver 1755-2255 with a Perkins Diesel V-8?

I'm thinking of the same engine that came in the Massey 1150/1155. Would this engine slip right into a 2255? What kind of mods would I need to make to fit that engine into a 17/18/1955 or a 17/18/1950?

 Thanks for the info. What about a Cat 3126? in reply to Rex-Road, 03-14-2006 20:08:13  
Thanks for the info, guys. It sounds like it'd be lots of trouble to put that engine in an oliver. What about dropping a Cat 3126 in? Would that be worth doing? I'd turn the Cat's fuel pump down a bit to reduce HP. That engine has over 200 HP, I believe. It may even have as much as 250. That many horses would tax the rear end assembly, for sure.

I have a customer who has a fleet of the 3126 Cat engines. He has had problems At what RPM are you getting that horse power. Also make sure those engines have all the up dates and make sure you get all the controls for the electronics. That engine would not make my list for what you are doing. Around here you would be better off keeping your money, add a little from the bank and get a newer tractor.

thanks, J. I'll probably look into getting a 'normal' Perkins from an 1850 or so.

You would have to have a different oil pan. The Masseys are frameless and the cast iron oil pan is part of the structure of the tractor.

neighbors working on a 354 perkins into a 1950.

the tub was differnt and the controls from his combine 354 were different.. and the manifold and exhaust hole.

I am wandering if the pan would be that much of a problem... more like unneeded It might not be a problem and the combine pan is not part of the tractor and those motors are more plentiful used (the blocks are not structurally as stout as a tractor block)
