I have a 1939 JB B and A 1937 JD A.
What to build one of them into a puller. The class choices are 3500 4500 5500lbs.
For the 37A I have a heisler head for it, also have a 44 a for parts ( if any can be used)

For the 39 B I have a 5-2 power block was told that it will bolt in. And drill bottom holes
Any have late b for parts( if any can be used)

So I what to build some power,

hunter1, both have good potenial in the div III arena.

On the B, if you use the 5-2 PB, you'll need to get a later B head (preferably a Heisler), your 39 head won't work. Suggest boring the PB to 5.125", pushing it ahead a little bit and using 5.125" Lycoming (320) pistons. You can cut an offset dome on them and poke it into the head end of the PB. Stroke it to 7.25" - use Waukesha 320 rods on big end, IH Diesel on the little end. Will give you decent power (right around 300 cubes), built very tough (2.625" rod journals vs the "normal" 2.3" Farmall 300 rods).


I've had Keith Merfeld do quite a few crankshafts for me, rods too - 563-582-8710.
