Was driving down the road thinking about a common response
seen on this board regarding how gas Farmalls have fewer
operating hours than diesel Farmalls of the same type because
of the better fuel use characteristics of diesels. A carburator is
optimized to a certain power/rpm range, whereas injectors in a
diesel provide a means to optimize across a much wider power/
rpm range. A diesel 656 can idle or it can run full power pulling
a bottom plow and the injectors deliver the optimum fuel charge
for the two vastly different air flow and power conditions. Has anyone heard of anyone taking a throttle-body type injector
system from, say, a 2.8 liter Chevy V-6 and putting it on a
Farmall 560 gas engine? I hear about hot rodders putting fuel
injection on all sorts of old motors. It seems like it could be
done for a tractor motor. Would there still be a need for a
governor? If so, how would someone inter-link a governor to a
fuel injection unit? Seems like a throttle-body fuel injection
system would naturally act like a governor set-up what with its
mass air flow sensor and (I assume) rpm monitoring system. Anybody heard of throttle body fuel injection retrofitted to
Farmalls?

History of the Nuffield Tractor: Conclusion - by Anthony West. In the last piece I mentioned that Nuffield had reached the stage where they had chosen to drop the "Universal" from production. The two new models were given three figure numbers, instead of "three" and "four". Model numbers were introduced to help farmers and dealers instantly recognize the engine size and horsepower of the tractor, the 4/60 had a four cylinder diesel engine which developed 60 bhp at 2,000 rpm. The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
