If it's just the Pony motor thats bad, I have heard of guys putting a lawn mower engine on in place of pony. I think Farm Show mag had a piece about changing old Cat's over to electric start. Might want to check that out. If you do switch engines, I would go with diesel instead of gas. Chris

Why not a diesel combine engine? Gallion graders used IHC gas or diesels.

Why? Maybe because the current pony start engine has a problem as well as the pony has a problem. ???

Be a lot cheaper and easier to fix it rather than adapting another engine to it. Also those old pony starts are neat.

Anything is possible with enough time and money. Either the bellhousings have to match or use an adapter plate. 53 and 71 series Detroit Diesels are cheap and reliable.
