c-153 in a Seper C

I have a Super C with a tired c-123.
I bought a good c-153.
What will have to be changed in order to install the 153 in this tractor.
I want to use it as I have for the past several years maintaining and cultivating my 2 acre garden and spraying my fruit orchard.
Am I messing up by changing engines? I bought the 153 for a lot less than I can buy the parts to re-build the 123 and the 153 seem to be in great shape.
In fact judging from the appearance of the gaskets I think it has not been many hours since it was re-built.The compression checks as it should and I cranked it on the stand and it runs perfect with no blow by and good oil pressure hot at idle speed.
Will the transmission be OK.
I have seen some in adds here with 153's used for pulling so I guess the transmission will be ok.
Does anyone know if the hydrolich pump off the 123 will work on the 153? I t looks like it will bolt up .
Will the Super C radiator cool the 153?

Please advise.

If the new engine came out of a tractor, the problems are few and not dramatic, just good mechanics. If the engine is out of a combine or swather, the crankshaft might need to be machined for a pilot bearing. Not an easy task when assembled, as it MUST be concentric with the crank hub. Jim
 
The pump will bolt right up. I have a Farmall 504 that is running a SC pump as well as the standard live hydraulics. Had to grind away about 0.125" from the frame rail. The F504 is a loader tractor and I use the extra circuit to operate a thumb. You will need no extra parts.
 
I helped put a few in and all we did was cut about a 1in to 1 1/4 off the drive shaft and had the flywheel machined so a poilet bearing could be pressed in. the bearing wasn't cheap but it should last for ever!
 
I took it from a combine.
I have a lathe so the machining for the pilot bearing ,I should be able to do alright.
How about the fan and the fan schroud on the Super C radiator.
It looks like the fan is a bit higher on the 153 just looking at it.
