my dad just blew the motor in his 5020 JD. ruined the crank and block. we were stunned and amaized at the price of replacement parts, even used ones. (yes, green paint is more expensive!) so, the discussion turned to the feasability of using a cummins motor in it, like an older 290 or 350. heck, a 250 would make more power than what originally came in it, and parts are cheap for a cummins. would like to know if anybody else has done or considered this. i have heard of Detroits swapped into tractors, but never cummins, which are better (IMO) and cheaper to work on. will let you know how or if it goes.
