I have a 67 Farmall with a shot gas (263? i think) engine. How difficult is it to go up to a D-301 engine? Should everything simlply bolt up or is there some major modification involved? Is there a diffrence in the frame rails between tractors with the D282 and D301? thanks!
 
If it is a 67 then it SHOULD have a C291 in it . As to what all would be needed to change it over ???? Myself i would rebuild what ya have it would be a lot cheaper in the long run and a lot less head aches .
 
EVERYTHING between the front bolster and the bell housing is different from gas to diesel. Frame rails, front and rear engine plates...

Early 706 has a D282, late has the D310 "German" diesel.

Is the D301 the bored-out combine version of the D282, or did you mistype?

Converting is a lot of work and a lot of parts, even if you fudge a few things and do some fabrication. To do it "right" is even more parts.

We had a D360 American diesel out of a bus put in a gas 756 several years ago. The mechanic used the gas frame rails so the tractor is now 1" longer and the hood doesn't fit without extensions. He also used the gas radiator, and the outlet is on the wrong side. The mechanic's son TIG welded up a cross pipe for the radiator, so the extra inch of clearance up front came in REAL handy. Power steering lines had to be extended. It looks a bit cobbled up around the bell housing area but it all works and it's solid.
