I just recently bought an "88" diesel. I've been pulling for a number of years now but never with a diesel. I would like to know how to get the H.P. with it still lookin stock. A guy that worked on my pump showed me how to turn up the smoke screw but I'm lookin for about 60 h.p. to keep up with my Dads J.D."G" Any suggestions would be helpful.

We have a Super 77 that we put a 1550 engine in that pushes at least 70 - 75hp that we use on the farm. The main difference is the Roosa Master Fuel system compared to the American Bosch. I can take a loaded wagon in the field going along in 5th gear and break the rear tires loose. The 1550 engine has a few more cubes but aren't necessary. All you should need to do is advance the timing a little and turn the fuel to it, but don't go overkill or you will loose hp. If it is adjusted correctly you should see fire coming out of the stack for the first 200 feet or so until it really gets in under load. It also wouldn't hurt to increase the RPM's to about 2200 -2500 or so. If you don't advance the timing and turn up the fuel only, you won't have as much lugging power at the bottom end. By advancing the timing, the engine will start a little harder when cold because of hte fuel being injected earlier when the compresed air isn't as hot. If you want the ultimate power of about 140 drop a 310 waukesha in it. Stroke it,decompress it, put a good cam in it and you should be around 140 Hp if you want it. You can also do this to your 88 engine and maybe get around 100 Hp. If you need more suggestions E-mail me at rnlklingler@evenlink.net

Farmalls suck big time. I like the cool tractors that not everybody has and the ones that actually win!
