David: To start with do you want me to catch the pistons and block parts when they come flying through Ontario, By changing anything on a 30+ year old 282 would be nothing short of trouble. I took this kind of hp out of a 560 but it was a brand new tractor. An IH technician got mine over the 100 hp mark without a turbo. We didn't leave it there but did turn it back to 90 and at 11,000 it scattered engine parts all over the farm. I never tampered with my 656 and was well rewarded for keeping it at 63 hp.

For the money you are going to spend you could go out and buy a decent 100 hp tractor. Of 16 Farmalls I farmed with, 560 was the only one I ever tampered with. I rather doubt your baler requires this kind of hp anyhow. I've made round bales with my 300 when other thactors were busy. Not fast but will do it. My opinion if it takes 90 hp to run a round balr, time to get out the cutting torch.
