After reading a lot of disscussion on these old motors I decided to give my two cents.If you plan to buy one of these tractors I wouldn't plan on using it for serious farming. Several years ago we purchased one to do some small jobs with on the farm, but mostly for play ,(tractor pulling).First it was having the pump rebuilt to run on all eight , then we ran one turbo. The motor made a very unique sound.Because of the short stroke the motor lost RPMs quickly when it began to bog.After two season's the motor would blow head gaskets about every two runs.We tore it down for a major overhaul, only to find out we could no longer get the needed parts to fix it. So after searching some junkyards and having no luck, we decided to put it back as a six cylinder.The 436 is a lot more practical, but lacks the fun factor ,the sound , and the road speed. This tractor in it's V-8 form can be seen at www.tractortips.com . One more thing every mentioned the twin turbo's the ones I have seen were available as kits from M&W. They were fairly small turbo's, I think mainly for looks. Someone also mentioned missing heat sheilds, the ones on the manifolds we use polished aluminum bed rail covers off of a pick up ,cut to length.Not original ,but they looked good. B.H. Anderson

I know a JOCKEY here in Iowa who has a 1568 fender tractor which needs lots of love.
