[AT] Minneapolis Moline engine question

[Kyle Sands]

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.

Subject: [AT] Minneapolis Moline engine question

Hello folks - I'm wondering if there are any Minni-Mo experts out there
who can help me out. I've got a '47 RTU with a badly worn camshaft. I
came across a parts engine that is a 206C-4 type RE engine off of an old
Moline harvester. I'm pretty sure this is the type of motor that would
be used in the "Z" tractors. I'm wondering if the camshaft would be
identical? The camshaft in the parts engine is in really good shape, so
would be nice to be able to just swap it in.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Kyle Sands <>< Alexandria, MN
