1949 Farmall M 2-71 GM Detroit Diesel Power

Putting some run time on the 2-71 after being rebuilt and tuned up prior to paint.

I don't care what kind of Detroit 2 stroke it is they always share a special place in my heart big or small. And they all sound great❤

Loving it

[@mikecubes1642]

that would be a neat tractor

[@choreboy3906]

Custom or optional? I'm aware the Oliver super 99 had a GM 3-71.

[@bellydump-hf7ec]

is that original in that particular tractor or did you switch it? reason i ask is I wondered how hard it would be to switch a deuce out from the gas motor.

Any idea where a man could buy a kit to put a 2-71 in a M?

[@jaroot13]

I didn't do anything. The Earle Equipment Company of Detroit installed this GM offered package in the late 40's / early 50's.

what did you have to do to get it in there? custom flywheel / bellhousing spacer?
