He Repowered His Cat Diesel

He Repowered His Cat Diesel REPOWERED EQUIPMENT Repowered Equipment 27-5-42 A few years ago I repowered my 1982 Gleaner N6 combine by replacing the original Allis engine - which was underpowered - with a 200 cu. in. Cat diesel engine. The Cat engine has more cubic inches and also more continuous horsepower. Now the combine runs like it's supposed to. I was able to use the original motor mounts and the same radiator but had to use the fan off a Peterbilt semi truck. I modified the driveshaft and flex plate that fits on the spline pattern. The only change I'd make if I could do it over again would be to use a turbocharged engine. I use the combine on dry and irrigated wheat, safflowers, and corn.
