Just saw this on Charlotte, NC Craigs list. I know nothing else about it other than what the ad says, but thought I'd pass it along to anyone that might be interested and know what they were looking at.

I would buy it but I don't have room in the shed beside my Super H T/A Farmall.

Can't remember details, but thinking back to around the 1950's, I recall upgrading LA's to a bigger engine wasn't uncommon.
Farmers wanted more hp on the ground and the LA had a drive train that would stand up under a much more powerful engine.
Did Case ever offer the 3-71 as an option? I don't know.

I read that Deere put a Jimmy engine in an LA in the early 50"s to see if a two wheel drive tractor would have enough traction to hold 100 horses. They chose the LA because of a strong transmission. True? Jim
Fixerupper, Your statement is about Deere using a LA because of there strong rear end is interesting . As Deere used a chain drive like the Cases in all of there model"D" s. I wonder if Deere knew that they had a very strong & trouble free drive train.
I have heard from an well imformed old Case man that Case did not offer the 3-71 factory installed, but they had some of the parts needed to do the conversion listed in there parts books at one time. clint

I saw one out by Sterling Co. maybe fifteen years ago. The owner said someone in Denver was doing the conversions way back when. I would have liked to see it come home to Iowa on a combine trailer but he wasn't willing to sell and I didn't have the money anyway. Jim

150HP without excessive smoke from a four valve 3-71 at 2500 rpm is possible. Using Detroit Diesel over the counter parts.
