This was a special option for farmers who were already deaf.
ffjsb I'm sure after 10 hrs on this wide open you were deaf and numb
Still better off than with an md diesel gas sucks my a$$.
I’ve got the same engine in an Allis HD5 dozer that is straight piped. It’s surprisingly not that obnoxious to listen to when working it.
I think farmall had a factory diesel M. It was called the MD if I'm not mistaken. This is a gorgeous tractor
Beautiful restoration job, well done!
Looks and sounds good! Love all that shiny paint!
Sounds great! Nice restoration, Im more of a 3-71 guy but you just cant beat the way a 2-71 idles!

Fabulous job... Beautiful tractor
gotta love that sound ,, i love the way that Deuce sounds
knock knock rattle rattle ,,,I have a Deuce generator
never had a farmall with a 2-71 but i do have a farmall 450 with a 4-71,,my grandfather built it in the mid 1970s ,,and i have an oliver 1855 with an 8V-71T which i built in 1992
wildcoyote34 we were ih and far all and my mom's dad had jd. An old 60 that could pull a silage wagon and never die lol.but I remember as a little kid he had an old 435 deisel,the 430 was gas.would love to find a 435 just for sentimental reasons than anything.but it was a 2-53 super charged....ah the memories lol
The Farmall 450 with the 4-71, show toy or intended to do work? If it was a work tractor, how did you over come the RPM increase from stock and also how did you keep the transmission together?
@cdjhyoung the farmall 450 was built as a work tractor and i have never had problems with the transmission
the 4-71 doesn't really turn a lot faster than the original engine it's governor is set at 1800
I actually had to look up the specs for the original engine ,it's rated at 1450 rpm ,the extra 350 rpm means the tractor is faster on the road
the problem with the 450 having such a heavy engine is in the front axle it needs new bushings about every 500 hours
That's a Beautiful Tractor, and the Engine is Awesome.. Great JOB man..
That's only 142 cu.in.
Amazing job, looks factory
Amazing, didn't know the M was offered with such a conversion option.
GM 2-71 was very much an aftermarket conversion. The factory built diesel was the D-248 four cylinder four stroke engine used in the Farmall MD (M Diesel) McCormick WD-6 Standard and International TD-6 crawler tractors.
I think there was an experimental version
@@lawrencekieffer6770, no sir, hundreds were built for the U.S. Navy and were battleship gray.
@@shannonburns6724 experimental for m if I remember they were used in air compressor
@Lawrence Kieffer I heard of them being used for air compressors in lighthouses for the fog signal
What all do you have to do to get it to work?
Absolutely mint! I just gotta ask what kind or brand of paint + color red you used??
PPG Shopline. I don't remember exactly. it is one of the IHC colors they have. The more red version rather than the orangish color.
@@jaroot13 Hi, thankyou for the info on the paint.Original Wheelhorses used the IH paint so i thought about tryin' it out.I think its cool that you + and other folks are restoring these old tractors + equipment keepin' it alive. The world might be a better place if we lived with the simplicity of these machines.
Ésto es música para mis oídos 😃
Call conversion does it have a live hydraulics now
that is slick, nice job putting it in. did they really have a kit to put a detroit in there?
I didn’t put the engine in. This is an original GM Diesel conversion done by the Earle Equipment Company in Detroit in the 50’s.
@@jaroot13 oh ok, how is it for power? i need to find one of these
@@mikecubes1642 I think they are about 40-50 hp
I would like to shoehorn a 3-53 in one , that would be a step up in power , but not too much.
I am sure this makes a splash at a parade, but, i doubt that it would stand up to field work. Like the early 560's i wonder if the drive train could take the power. I think that they had to recall the 560's to fix the problem. I can not imagine sitting on this all day, i had a little JD 435 with the two stroke cummins, and, that was bad enough.
Keith Kuckler incidentally when rebuilding the entire transmission and rearend I discovered a repair in the housing where the inner axle bearing had failed at some point and the bull gear tried to eat its way to the outside. They caught it before it went all of the way through and welded the leak. IHC actually made a patch kit for this failure as it was common on the M / H / letter series
@@jaroot13 I had something similar to my 1957 450 G. Purchase at an estate auction looking it over we found water in the transmission. Draining it we found one of those little shiny marbles wandering around in the bottom. Upon further investigation we found a crack in the right axle housing it had been strapped with 3/8 by 2 bar steel. The right wheel had been set out to accommodate the 4 16" fasthitch mounted tripbeam plows. Acquired a used housing from Tractor Supply and they so generously left the bearings in it.

jaroot13 Gramps had one blow the bottom out of one when I was o kid, what a mess.
The 435 JD had a two cylinder Detroit.
a 248perkins would be a nice step up
Charlie Tanner Those start hard when it's below 50deg f !!!
How big is this engine and number of cylinders. ??
2-71, 2 cylinders 71 cubic inch per cylinder for a total of 141 cubic inch.
I know it's been a day or two since this video was posted but I declare it sounds as though the rods are knocking and the lifters are swapping holes. Sounds as though they should have stuck with the Farmall engine!!!!!!
exactly how a Detroit sounds.
It’s the beauty of it.
What kind of horsepower does the engine have?
As the engine was delivered, 42. Now, I am not sure. I haven't put it on a PTO dyno since I rebuilt it. Has 70 cm injectors and the updated .81 port liners @ 17.5:1. Running stock (1500) rpm WOT.
jaroot13 Thanks...
Nice tractor but wierd that someone would go to the effort of the conversion with very little hp gains if any
I bet it makes less. Like the shepard conversions. Turn any M into a H!
142cu.in. firing twice as often as a 4 stroke is 284 cu.in firing in the same revolutions. With higher rpm. That's more hp and torque. Two stroke Detroit's are crazy strong for their size.
I remember reading that it was an experimental version and the idea was that they didn't want it to have more hp then the m
I had heard they made a 2 cylinder that's the first one I've ever seen
IHC never installed a GM Diesel in a M to sell. You took your tractor to a GM Diesel dealer and the dealer removed your engine, took the 271 engine a components and fabbed some items per the engineering instructions and installed into your M. This tractor was done by the Earle Equipment Co of Detroit (defunct in the early 80s).
@@jaroot13 That explains why it has the stock six volt generator still hanging on the engine.
Give me ear plugs and a ten foot disk. 😎
Bahahaha, haha, ha two cylinders in a tractor and it doesn't sound like a green corn popper.... I'm impressed. Wonder what it sounds like working under a load?
That is what I wanna know.. 4/53 might be a bit more fun
Hey I think I need a farmall with a Detroit
Posibly a 53 series and not a 71
That's how ihc shoulda made it
not
Video sound doesn't do justice. It needs 2more cylinders 453
I'm considering repowering my Super C with a Mercedes 4 cylinder 240D, 65 hp.
Thats like neutering your dog . There never the same .
Huh . 😳
