Differing strokes were dealt with with pin height in the piston. Rods probably changed part numbers over the years but the rod from a 158 would probably work in a 401. [Reply]  [No Email]

It's a while since I did much digging around in the parts book on that subject tho. Rod [Reply]  [No Email]

Generally a 4000 diesel will only have a 201... Without going on a goose chase... have you looked at the date codes on the engine to see if they roughly correspond to the build date for the tractor? If they do... it would generally be thought that it is a 201 engine... The engine model number would also be stamped on the oil pan rail of the block on the right side... Check that and post it. IIRC, there will be a letter that ID's the engine. Rod [Reply]  [No Email]

Wrist pin size is 1.4997"-1.5000" and the rod journals should be 2.749"-2.750". My books don't give the rod lenght. [Reply]  [No Email]

Same physical size blocks, but different bores/strokes. Could be 158, 175, 183, 192, or 201 c.i. from 4.2" or 4.4" bores with 3.8", 4.2" or 4.4" strokes. There were also some Japanese built compacts that used 3-cylinder engines. Don't know much about them. [Reply]  [No Email]
