Some may recall from the *other site, I dreamt of fixing a 4430 I got really cheap with a hole in the block..
Well long story short, the PO ran the poor girl with a rod knock until it wanted to see daylight so, the crank is beat to shit and oil pan full of filings and bearing material, and even the liner is broken, so I can only assume the engine is beyond repair.
Found a good cheap 7700 combine with a rebuilt engine apparently done 3 seasons before it was parked.
I already cut the cheque for it, so I'm hoping the engine swap will happen easily.
My questions are:
The tractor is turbo'd
The combine is not, are there any internal engine differences between a turbo and non turbo 404?
Also the combine has a rotary injection pump whereas the tractor has an inline injection pump and different injectors...
Is it possible to swap over the complete fuel system to the combine engine because I'm sure the inline pump system is superior to the rotary.
I guess, so long as the pistons/compression ratio is the same, a guy should have no issues swapping things from one engine to the other...right??
Thanks guys/ gals
