Curious puller

I’ve heard about guys running IH rods in Deere motors, what’s the purpose and what all has to be done to do it. Also whats the average breaking point for stock Dt rods. |

I have heard of guys running JD rods in 400 series engines. The one I know of makes over 1400 hp. |

Correct

It’s all about rod length. Stroked JD generally use a slightly shorter rod to get a favorable pin height on the piston.
Popular thing with the 400 series IH is to run hardened DT407 rods. But DT407 rods are getting harder to find so only options are billet or Deere. Deere is the same length so all that is needed is to modify the big end to fit the narrower IH journal. DT414, 436, 466 rod is 8.44” Dt407 and JD404/466 is 8.75” |

I think it was pretty common to use a ih rod in a Deere when you stroked the crank 3/4” to make a 585. Not sure which part number or application ih rod it was |

Wondering

Is it even worth putting stock dt rods in a tractor that’s prolly gonna be close to 1700 |

As long as they are hardened. They will handle it. |
