[AT] WD 45?

[Brad Gunnells]

I have a Gleaner E Combine and it has the 4 cylinder 226 cid engine in 
it. I figured since I did the head last year on it (the rest of the 
machine is marginal, and I probably couldn't sell it for the money I 
put in the head) I'd save it for use in a WD/WD45 if I ran across one. 
I think the govener/carb setup is a bit different but if you have that 
from your existing one it shouldn't be a problem.

Often those combine engines have lower hours than a tractor of that 
age. Mine had very little cylinder wear in it. I'd replace a couple of 
seals and put in a tractor without batting an eye.
