It walks and talks

That poor ugly thing. Has a face only a mother could love. A deaf mother. All that aside, if it does the job, run it!

I don’t understand why someone who would go through all the trouble never finishes the small details to make it a nice looking conversion. You would have to be a pretty decent fabricator to even attempt something like that. It just seems like so many people get it to where it moves and just call it good.

if you watch his other stuff they seem to like the screaming jimmy's and building their own stuff

I honestly didn’t know what it started out as until the guy started talking.  I’m assuming it’s a 6-71 which ironically would have the same displacement as the original engine.  And I’d like to know why and how the 10 speed road ranger was mated up to the rest of the tractor.

Barf. Lol. Took lessons from the MM pulling tractor “Solid Junk”? Might be a hoot to make a few rounds on. Might get old in a hurry.

I agree.  I think that the only thing A-C left is the fenders and the white paint on the wheels. 

Good point on the engine displacement.  I forgot that the 6-71 was a 426 cu in. and never made that mental comparison before.

Two completely different engines and one lived at 200+ hp better then the other one

Wasn't the 6-71 a 238 HP?

I think it varied.  That engine was 215 hp in the JD 8020.  The guy in the video said 238 hp.  Take your pick

Nice hood

When it rains where does the water go?

with it being a 2 stroke put  in a simplistic way it's more like 2 times the displacement, - not that simple but a quick and easy comparison if you follow my reasoning without all the theory and efficiencies etc

 and maybe the rear end? 

The rest looks pieced

I just don’t even know where to start……..

I’m seen them rated that way in trucks.  That engine was built for many decades and configurations.  I have seen marine versions of the 6-71 rated for 485 hp.  I would imagine the fuse was a bit short at that rating.

I thought the marine engines had special modifications like water cooled manifolds and such.  It seems like cat 3208 marine engines could be had up to 400 hp.

I like a loud tractor but my goodness.

I would think they don't have to worry about lug conditions in marine engines

Unlimited cooling allows for higher horsepower.

I know a few guys with incredible skills who waste their time on garbage like that Frankentractor

 

 This one to  a lesser extent popped up on Kijiji this morning

Is that an H with a C123 in it?

This solves a major problem.  We've all been there, out using our H and thought, "This thing just has too much dang power!"
