Probably like every one else I've wondered what a 4 cyl ag deisel in a pickup would perform like. I might have the oppurtunity to find out, my son got his grandpa's '78 1/2 ton chevy pickup with a bad in line 6 motor. The body is in great shape so he's wanting to repower it with something difffernt. I'm not too concerned about the physicals of installing the motor, we have a fairly complete machine shop, but I'm wondering about engine RPM and speed. Assuming a 3:73 rear end and std tires we need about 2100 RPM to make 60 MPH. The Deere engine out of a 3010 has a rated RPM of 2200. I'd like to get that down to around 1800 to give it some room and not run right against the stops. That means I need to overdrive the trans or find a really tall rear end, something in the low 3's which I don't even know exists. Looking for anyone's experiance with this idea..Thanks!

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
