Farmall 450 conversion - diesel to gas

Andrew Kappers · Jun 30, 2008

I found a 450 Diesel parts tractor that is pretty much intact except for the engine. I was wondering how hard it would be to get a 450 gas engine and swap them out. Has anyone done this and would is different parts wise between the two models. I know the diesel has a smaller tank so I would have to find a gas tank off the gas version. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, andy

Easy to do if you have a complete gas engine. Hood sides are different but can be used, Gas air cleaner, hydraulic pump,lines, coolant pipe,and throttle notches needed. Also gas linkage rod from governor to throttle linkage lever near bottom of air cleaner. Also the lever has a little bigger hole than gas ones in it. Hand starting ratchet in bolster is different, if it matters.
Fuel tank can be used by pluging one outlet hole. If you change to a big tank the hydraulic lines under tank need changed also.
