The clutch and flywheel MUST stay with the transmission it came with. Ford used about a dozen different flywheels on those 3 cyl tractors and it can get confusung if not downright vexing if you start switching things there. It is not difficult to switch one of those engines from gas to diesel. You will need to change pistons, head, intake manifold, front timing cover and put the injector pump + lines and filter in place of the gas governor and distributer. Everything is a direct bolt up switch. You will also need to switch the air cleaner and tubes and replace the firewall tin with a diesel bracket. Also the battery tray. All diesel heads - 2000, 3000, 4000, 4400, 2600, 3600,4600 and 65-83 derivatives will interchange up untill you get into the 10 series. Those headbolts are bigger. You must use the intake manifold that is correct for the head but otherwise they will all interchange. You need to switch ring gears on the flywheel. Gas used fine tooth, diesel used coarse tooth and use correct starter. Temp gauge sender is different between 65-75 and 76-83. Older is 1/8" pipe plug later is 1/4" pipe plug. Easy to drill/tap an older head to 1/4". Couple of other small details involved in switching things around but it's all easy stuff. There are differences in cranks and blocks - bore and stroke of course to get 158, 175, 183, 192 and 201 CI engines but cranks, cams, rods, bearings, lifters, push rods and and rocker assemblies are all interchangeable on all 65-83 3 cyl engines both gas and diesel.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
