Charles: How much do you know about the history of this tractor? Do you have any photos of futher back on chassis? You asked the question, could a 282 fit in between rad and clutch housing. I don't think, 504 all had a long fan shaft anyhow, but I don't think it's long enough for 2 more cylinders.
I had a 504, however I didn't keep it very long, thus I don't remember a lot of detail. My 504 and 656 came with farmland I bought, the owner had bought both tractors new in 67, along with a 2000 loader on the 656. He had changed the loader from 656 to the 504 and had to cut 6" out of loader frame back near rear axle housings. (actually saved the pieces) Since I wasn't going to keep the 504, but wanted to keep the loader, I had to weld those 6" frame pieces back to install the loader on my 560, that's right 560 and 656 have the same length chassis and wheel base.
The reason I raise this, keeping in mind I just don't remember about 504, something doesn't look quite normal with your tractor. That is the reason I asked about more photos. Have you got a 504 that someone rebuilt using some 560 and 656 parts, exculding the wide front? How long is the tractors wheel base? In that era, most 4 cylinder Farmalls were close to 90" wheelbase and small chassis 6 cylinder tractors like 560 and 656 were close to 96" wheel base. Just the 6" from my loader frame difference. Those figures could vary a bit narrow front is not exactly same as wide front, and the after market front end you have may be a bit different also, however they should fall between 88" and 93" for 4 cylinder and 94" to 98" for 6 cylinder.

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip.
