john deere vs ih July 22, 2010 12:47PM
so i'm starting to plan a build. I have an jd vs ih question. I know that the ih has a longer bell housing that gives the tractor more natural wieght on the nose. does jd have a rear end and transmission that is similiar? something like a 560 rear end. i'm wanting to build a tractor thats weigh in the 5500# range.

I have an idea, since God knows we don't need anymore Internationals or John Deeres. Be someone that can think for themselves and build a Massey, and maybe for fun throw a perkins V-8 in it. Boy that sounds like fun.

Your weight might be an issue with a JD. 4010 is a great starter for building, but it would be some what heavier. In on your plans we don't know what kind of class you are talking about. Need a little more info.

You can get a 4010 down around 5500, depending on what equipment, class, and set-up you are running.

I'm thinking of the 404 block with a single charger setup. My question is does Deere have a tractor with a longer center section like an IH? Is the 2940 any longer than a 4010?

Should still catch close to that weight with a 404 single charger. Depends on how much you strip it, two vs. three bar cage, and how much aluminum you are prepared to use, and what tire/wheel combo. What you see in my picture is about 5300-5400 empty with a similar engine set-up to what you mention, but it is possible to get lighter than that yet if you set your mind to it.

Good question on the length vs 2940. I don't honestly think there is much difference, but have never measured them.

I'm wanting to build a light limited super stock. Probably a spark plug engine. JD makes a 359 block thats in the 2940. What kinda a crank is in that motor and do you think it will live?

7 mains - not sure how much counterbalance it has...

There is a tractor running very hard in East Central MO with the 359 on alky with 2 chargers. Mike Savey & others ran it on diesel. The 359 is the same as the 329 with the exception of sleeve / bore diameter.

Who's LLSS are you looking at?

You could also use the 2940 or 4030, not sure on their exact weight. What is your cube limit? Deere also made the 414 engine.

I'm limited to 370 cubes. I'm leaning toward the 359 block cause i hear it has a really good head on it. I just wish jd made a light tractor with a longer center section. Thanks for all replies. The advise is appreciated.
