Bill the reason you see the Cummins put into more Oliver tractor is that the later model Whites tractors used Cummins in them. So with the correct parts from salvage yards is it about a bolt in switch.
Lets say you would want to put a 5.9 into a JD 4230. You would have to make adaptor plates for the block and worry about the oil bath clutch and etc. Then you have to make the front drive for the hydraulic pump. So it would be a much harder conversion.
While I am sure that you could put a Cummins 5.9 into a IH 756 it would be much more cost effective to just find the diesel IH motor that would just bolt in.

As for what motors to use??? I would go with the older 12 valve motors because they do not have the later electronic control on the injection pump. IF you use a later motor you not only would have mechanical adapting issues you now have electrical ones.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
