| Start by removing the flywheel, starter and starter mount plate, water pump and crankshaft pulley from the E-3 engine. Use your WD flywheel and a 9-spring pressure plate from a WD-45 and a 4-button clutch disc from a Gleaner K combine. Drill out your WD water pump holes oversize and mount it to the E-3 block. You might have to bore clear thru your WD crank pulley to get it to slide on the E-3 crank nose, just depends...some do, some don't. Fan belt will run a little crooked with this set-up but for a puller, it will make no difference. Then, there's the governor control linkage to transfer over from one front cover to the other. |

| I put a couple washers under the waterpump pulley to space it out a little to true the belt up some, might have to tweak the oil lines by the oil filter to clear steering shaft |

| I've always wondered this about puller tractors...Does that extra power ever harm things in the transmission/rear end of the tractor that was made for a lower hp engine?? I know they used to have that problem in the Ford 8N's with the straight 6 and V-8 Funk conversions. |

| I'm sure if you installed a 67 flywheel HP E-3 engine in a WC chassis and farmed heavily with it, you'd eventually fail something in the transmission or rear end, but for a minute or two of tractor pulling and probably at a reduced weight compared to field weight, nothing bad ever seems to happen. In fact, there are MANY WC's well over that 67 HP figure than you can ever imagine. |
