I have a Farmall 400 that I want to use in a stationary application. I don't need 50hp. 25hp at rated RPM would be adequate. I was thinking of:
1. pulling two pistons and con-rods 2. plugging the two crankshaft journals (and hose clamping the bearings back on the empty journals) 3. removing the corresponding push rods, rocker arms, (and tappets ?) 4. running a Super H or 300 carburettor.
The two remaining pistons will have strokes 180 degrees apart. This means the firing impulses will be 180 and 540 degrees apart.
Does anyone see a problem with the uneven firing or any other aspect of the modification? Is there any advantage in which set of cylinders remains functional? 1&2, 3&4, 1&3, or 2&4. Can the con-rod/piston assemblies come out without removing the head?
No, I am not going to paint the tractor green with yellow wheels.
If Schramm made a head for this engine, I might be interested although I am not doing the modification to compress air.

Using bolts to draw the two halves together will damage the PTO
