Mitsubishi Tracotr Repowered With 2.8 Liter Chevrolet V-6 Engine
Here's a photo of my Mitsubishi 650G tractor,which I repowered with a 2.8-liter Chevrolet V-6 engine. I had to make an adapter to match the engine to the transmission and also an adapter to match the flywheel to the two-plate clutch (one for ground drive and and one for the pto drive). I also had to lengthen the frame 6 in. to give me the room for a larger radiator, fan and hydraulic pump, which mounts on front of the crankshaft. So far I have 86 hours on the tractor without a problem. I also cut rpm's back to 2,400 and have a belt drive governor to control power.
  I recently took the tractor to the Tulare Farm Show and had a number of offers from people who wanted me to put Chevy engines in their worn out tractors. (Al Plenert, 6754 E. Harvey, Fresno, Calif. 93727)
