He Repowered A Ford Explorer With A Deere Diesel Engine

He Repowered A Ford Explorer With A Deere Diesel Engine REPOWERED EQUIPMENT Repowered Equipment 31-6-41 I was real interested in your recent article about a fellow who repowered a Ford Explorer with a Deere diesel engine out of an old combine. I did the same thing 25 years ago, repowering a Lincoln Towncar. I drove the repowered rig for 7 years and then sold it to a co-worker. He later sold it to a farm kid after it had 240,000 miles on the repower. It was pretty rusty by then so he used it to haul hay to horses. After about 250,000 miles, they scrapped the car but kept the engine, which today is still powering a log splitter. (Jim Garrett, 830 Olympic Drive, Waterloo, Iowa 50701)
