Constant mesh gears breaking, cant keep them in 4th gear due to linkage flexing from so much torque. You would have more fun with a 560-806 type engines with a turbo and not have to worry much, and not have to do so much to put it in the M rear end. Id betcha a 560 flywheel with a M starter ring would let you use the stock M starter,,,, 560 clutch, with some sort of alteration to the clutch hub to fit the M input shaft,,,, unless, the M or SM had the same diameter clutch,, as the 560,,, then just use the M or Sm disk,,,, Thats using the 560 type motor,,, on the big block 6 cyl,,, its the same basic bellhousing bolt pattern,,, so if you can get the whole tractor engine, with the back plate, clutch etc etc,,, do some measuring with a M motor plate and see if it will fit. Id rather have the DT407,,,, Chad

Right off the bat, I can think of a few problems:

1. Frame rails are too narrow.
2. Frame rails are too short.
3. Hood too short.
4. Grille, hood, tank too low.

You"re trying to fit 20lbs of manure into a 5lb bucket, and that is going to present some challenges. You"re pretty much going to be on your own in figuring out what to do, what parts to use. This is not a bolt-in operation, and as far as I know, has never been done.

I would start out by getting the rear engine mounting plate worked out so the engine is attached to the transmission. Then build the rest of the tractor around that.

Once you get it done, it"s going to be little more than a show piece, because the M was designed for 33HP, and IH started getting in trouble with that design at 60HP. A DT466 can put out upwards of 330HP, ten times as much as the tranny was originally designed to take! It"d tear the rear end up at an idle! Of course, you should de-fuel the DT466 as much as possible, and probably skip the turbo.
