As I said, it's out of a crawler.. I called who I got it from, and he said it's out of a HD3? Allis crawler.
I will look into the rotation of the unit and compare to the stock 44.. I really don't want to get into reversing the rotation of the engine.. sounds like a pain to me..
I should have added that the engine has the bellhouse and such from the crawler (over center clutch) and the only reason I'd like to use the tractor bellhouse is to maintain foot clutch as opposed to hand clutch. It has a splined yolk and a short shaft for the crawler.. remove the original driveshaft from the tractor, cut it at the "coupler" have a yolk put on that end (at the coupler), and have the short shaft from the crawler shortened/lengthened as needed. This would probably be the easiest way, as then I can move the engine forward/ back to sit in the right place for the radiator to stay in the original location, and the motor can be higher/lower than the trans. input shaft (Within reason of course, I know I can't have a large difference, but a half inch or so should be ok I'd think, as I'd have a u-joint on each end of the driveshaft).. Hope that don't confuse everyone.. if it does, I'll try to take some pictures and re-explain..
I won't be really starting this for a few weeks.. maybe more.. I got one tractor that I'm going to be painting, then I'll have to wait til crops are planted, as I'm not the best fabricator, so a friend is going to help me with that (I can think it up and make it work, my skill level is just not so good.. ) and I'll try to post some pictures as we go along.
Guido, I'll likely be in contact from time to time.. Having some literature could help out on this endeavor.
As for horsepower.. I haven't confirmed anything, but the 44 should be around 45 drawbar, and I was told the Detroit is about 50.. So not really gaining anything really.

Today's Featured Article - George's Fordson Major - by Anthony West (UK). This is a bit of a technical info to add on to the article about George's Major in the "A Towny Goes Plowing" article.
