I really don't want to rain on your project but I owned a 325 Steiger tractor bought new out of the factory with a 3406 engine in it. The engine was great. Ran as good the day I traded it off as the day I bought it. That being said, the hydraulic system was always short on both pressure and volume. Also there were several weak spots in that tractor, namely all the planetary axle hubs had to be rebuilt with heavier gears as the original ones would over heat and fail. This is a big dollar item and I wouldn't want to guess the cost in todays dollars. Next came the air-conditioning system which at it's best it was just a little better than having none at all. The other weak spot was the clutch. The setup they used was a dry clutch behind a 325 horsepower engine in a farm tractor was just not adequate for any longevity. The banded duals were also troublesome as they were close together and would load up between them if it was the least bit sticky soil condition. Just a few things to think about before you get too deep into the project.
