Ed: I know two commercial farmers that bought 274s new, today they are both using older gas model offsets. Both engines failed prematurely in these 274, and it was next to impossible to find parts back in the late 80s. These guys had run Super A, 100, and 130 tractors before the 274. They both told me 274 was a bad experience. The 274 can't match the older offsets for power long term. All you need do is look at the specs on that engine, it's a recipe for failure in a farm tractor. 99 cubic inches at 2,600 rpm, I'll bet it has to be at full throttle to top a 140. Every farm tractor manufacturer in history, that tried to obtain horse power from rpm rather than cubic inches, FAILED with that particular tractor.
