International with detroit engne

None,that I know of.However,there was a kit to
install a 2-71 in an M.pretty rare today.It was a
real 'screamer'!
 
Here is one with a 371 Detroit in it.

With a ta a Detroit would be better because once the rpm"s drop off to maby 1400 1500 your hp is gone and there is NO Lugg with smaller Detroits.The high price of engine oil and fuel have sent many/most?? of the old two stroke Detroit equiped trucks to the scrap pile.Over the years i had a 453-671T-318-318T,and a 1271.Bud.
 
I've never seen one but I did manage to pick up a contemporary 2-71 earlier this year so now I'm looking for information, pictures, and at some point a donor tractor. Sam
 
There was an article in 'Red power' several years ago.Seems all the factory info and parts had been destroyed.As for as anyone knew,there was only one'survivor'.
 
we have a m with a2 71 in it i do know where there is one more but last time i looked at it there was a tree that need to be cut away from it . and the guy didnt seem like he would part with it . jon
 
They also had the Sheppard Diesel kit. You can see a good picture on page 86 of Guy Fays "Originality Guide - Farmall Letter Series Tractors." Fay's book said, "Sheppard made a conversion kit that allowed their three-cylinder diesel engine to be installed in the M with a minimum of fuss." I would guess it would be a similar situation for Detroit. I know it would be awesome!
 
when the kit came out to repower a m the cost was 2,200 dollers you could of had a new tractor for that price but the real savings , where fuel econemy my brother and i pulled ear corn wagons one fall,we pulled load for load , he would fill up with gas every day i could go three days . hope this helps
 
Yes it was. It was always parked over by the saw mill and they would use it on the mill some instead of the steam engin. It sure sounded nice when it was sawing lumber.

I have an M with a 2-71 conversion kit installed. Just rebuilt it actually.

http://www.jarootfarms.com - link to my blog which details a few items about it.

My tractor is a 1949. The engine S/N puts it at 1949 / 1950. Still trying to make out the top line of the decal on the fuel tank and the history. As far as I can tell it has spent it's entire life in South Eastern Michigan.

The M you speak of at the Flywheelers show was a 3-53 powered deal. Owner did the retrofit and install himself. Have his card in my wallet actually and have been meaning to call him.
 

I gotta dis-agree with some of you. I saw an M with the 2-71 conversion at the Mt.Pleasant, Iowa red power roundup. Heard it run. That was the most obnoxious sounding M I have ever been around. Sounded way too much like a John Deere.
 

Comparing them to a 2 lunger Deere... Nothing is that obnoxious... Though you do want ear plugs for sure, even with a muffler...

My governor is set to limit my 71 to 1800 rpm. Still an ear punisher, strictly decibel-wise . I do have a small M&W turbo that I've considered installing. Would mean I need to replace pistons though. But it would quiet it down.
