Yes the motor has or will have the necessary mods to make this work. Just so we are clear. I am only wanting to increase this tractor about 10-20 percent. I have weights...tires...gear to pull....even duals on the front. I had the tractor checked on the dyno two years ago during and injection pump repair. They said estimated 280-290hp at engine. 256 pto horsepower. Yes I know they are rated at 215hp new, they are almost always more than that IME. Maybe its their dyno. ( It has factory flow numbers in the pump, it does have a bigger turbo though, hx50 I believe, set at 35 psi, and the aneroid removed/ set to max) Now I'm only needing a little more as it is the same width bar it is just a heavier bar and dual tanks for nh3. It handles the old bar fine, might bog in terraces/hills and only likes 4-5 mph uphill and 7 mph downhill. I just know the new bar is going to pull a little harder and I would like to go a little faster. (high speed machine) Fan has been replaced with a solid six blade unit and new radiator. Right now it never even pretends to overheat unless I really work her hard on the hottest days. Even then maybe hit 210 once. I am honestly more concerned with egts if I increase hp more than engine heat, as it runs over 1000 now pretty regular.
The situation requires a row crop tractor. IF I got to buy a new one it would take a 8430 JD or magnum 335 Case or equivalent, or more. Both of which are 200k or more tractors, plus row crop mods. and if you haven't noticed farming isn't what it once was. I like my money and I like my old magnums. They don't break down, They are pretty good on fuel. No def. I can fix them. And best of all they are paid for. I don't think 25-30 horse is to much to ask. I am just wondering if I should do some work to the tranny to make it live.
I would get a smaller bar, but my customers require this size.
I know I can buy a bigger tractor. I want to know if this will work or how to make it work. Aka. technical info. Or info from those who are doing this or even those who have tried this and failed in this type of tractor. Or guys who work on these for a living would be helpful. I am going to do this. If something bad happens I guess I will be the guenny pig. It is still cheaper to rebuild the tranny than to buy an overpriced electronic piece of junk with a big radiator.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
