Non turbo 466 December 19, 2013 03:23AM
Im thinking about putting a D-466 in a 560 to run against all the RD-501s around me. Start off...they do allow this combo. Now do you guys think a non turbo 466 would run with 8mph RD-501s? I know to much fuel would kill it, so kinda got that one figured out. I know that I need the higher compression pistons. Im just wondering if all is right in the motor set up if the diesel torque would out perform the gassers bigger cubes? I know the weight differance will be a killer. But i can put the tractor on a serious diet, not to mention the operator.

Im talking about antique tractors pulling 8mph, not alky's running full bore. Im just asking about if they would be competitive against the RD's running gas.

If you plan to run 8mph, I know the NA 466 engines will run with the RD engines. I have a 560 with a NA 466 weighing 4700lb. Give me a call 2706221657

How much does it take to make a RD501 competitive in a 6000lb 12mph class? I assume when you say they are good for 6 and 8mph that would be in stock form. Will a good cam, head work, and higher compression pistons do it?

The RD501 was a truck engine. Instead of building a 301 anymore, guys are putting in the RD450 or the RD501 truck engines into 460/560's for more power.

Thanks for the info, maybe that explains why, here in New York I see supposedly 40- 50 hp "stock" tractors putting20 feet on a 95 hp tractor in the 7500 pound class.

Well I believe im going to go ahead and build this tractor. I would like to think it should be competitve. If nothing else it'll get me back to pulling with some great guys in my area. I know just south of me a little, there are a couple pretty dang good running RD's. And i hear of a "big one" being built. If nothing else, I think it'll be neat to see some smoke. Thanks guys. Now im on the search for a 560. We will see where it goes from here. Thanks again.

why not just contact me and get one with the 466 already installed it has a tube frame but that can be eliminate and frame rails installed in a few minutes. or we can change the whole motor for a little less money.

What you got to offer? Im banking since I have the engine, I can build this cheaper than buying. Ive done 2 of these before, but both have had turbos. Plus, to me, putting it together is half the fun. Calling around and finding parts and talking to people is a great way to meet some people. If you have something that might interest me my email is always open. Thanks

its a ag engine but was scarcly used in ag but a lot in trucks, no dif than the dt 468 or wachashaw power units. Just clearing up the misconception of it om
nly a truck engine. I built mine for the bigger cubes at lower cost n studied it for two yrs so as not to invest in a illegal build that I couldn't pull. So just givin my 2cnts but ih guys had to do something in antique to get back up front after a 320 wackashaw was allowed. I get beat a lot by many dif tractors below 8mph but the rd is tough above that. Not a fan of the new wave of pullers who killed the little guys before rd with their big ci late model ag n power plant engines who now want to complain they don't get the trophy every hook. its spread around now more than ever if u look at results
. Use to hear of a tractor who won whole seasons in certain classes now ,ive never seen it so guess we all r closer to even than ever by results.
