I appreciate the effort that some responders exercised in answering my engineering questions. As for the others, no I will not be considering another tractor. This 400 has a side-mounted IH/GE Electrall and it will only fit SMTA thru 660 and similar W models. The 13KW generator will not fit AC, H. SH, C, or any green crapola.
This is the same tractor that I plan to convert into an Ice Cream making and vending unit. I already have the NSF freezer chest/soda fountain combo. It will attach to a front-mounted IH fast hitch. The White Mountain ice cream salt/freezers (4 or 5 ea) will go on the rear fast hitch. The ice crusher will probably drive off a IH cotton picker power supply gearbox. Fresh hot water will be conditioned with a heat exchanger. Still looking for a nice SS or aluminum 50 gallon water tank. May run the rotating freezer paddles with compressed air as the motors can stand indefinite periods of stalling. Ya, I am looking to save fuel. Aren't we all these days? I still need 1400 RPM.
I will probably start testing the 400 with loose plugs wires on 3 and 4. I'll do more testing with 3 and 4 sparkplugs removed. It seems to me that the most efficient configuration would be to eliminate those pistons. I am somewhat worried that the crankshaft flywheel flange may fatigue and separate with extended usage.

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
