[AT] Minneapolis Moline engine question

[Easley, Greg]

It's not cheating if the rules allow it.
 
I've got a 206B-4 in my R.  All you have to do to put the 206 into your R is take the flywheel off the EE
and bolt it to the 206 crankshaft.  A bone-stock 206 will be 33-35hp,  Mine is making close to 60hp.
It weighs around 3300 bare, pulls best at 4500.

Thanks for the info.  It would be interesting to put this whole engine into the "R" and see what kind of power it has.  I've heard that pullers put "Z" engine components into their "R's" for the extra power in a lower weight class, and of course add weight to compete against "bigger" tractors in heavier classes.  Hmmm...seems like cheating, but I'm not puller and this engine is mostly a mess save for the camshaft - the whole interior is coated in rust.  Musta gotten water in there somehow.  I'm sure it could be rebuilt pretty easily by someone with the right know-how.  Me, I just want to get my "R" running more consitently.
