I know that some of the Gleaner CII used the 262 diesel engine that was also used in the D19 diesel tractor. Does anyone know if this engine was used in any of the Fiat-Alis industrial equipment from that era?

My next-door neighbor has a small road grader that has a 262 Diesel in it.

THE D262 was considered for an upgrade to direct injection in around 1976 . Per Terry Wood , engineer, the bottom end would not hold up long term as well as the 4.33I at over 100 hp and much less fuel efficient. The lavinia head was prone to cracking and would not tolerate abuse. The engine was tried in several applications but never proved successful in the diesel version. It was in Buda form even a truck engine in the early days. I remember part # changes in heads that lead to parts scraps in the old Memphis in the 60-70's of dozens of new heads. The fact that a region warehouse stocked and sold dozens of heads for the D262 and none for the other engines ...... almost every head we have pulled on a D262 has large cracks. Most are not harmful, but again the fact that a head cracks... there was never much attempt to upgrade the old gal either. Even the service manual specs call for a sleeve stand out above the block of + or - a few thousandths.
If one puts a head gasket on a D19 with (-) sleeve stand out... one will get to do the job again, and again if pulled hard...

Thank all of you for replying. Not used to replying on this forum yet. My grandfather bought a D19 diesel in 1961, the year I was born and died a couple years later. MY uncle used it until 1979 when I purchased it. I spent many hours operating and servicing the D19 growing up. My uncle changed the head and up graded it to a five bladed fan. It also has a Turbo II precleaner. The factor precleaner was another week point and probably damaged more than one of these engines. I also have one of the last D19 diesel made (1965) with factor 3pt purchased from my good friend Jim McClealland. I also have a D19 gasoline and a D19 lpg. They all take turns mowing the water way these days. I also picked up a Gleaner CII with the 262 diesel engine. I might puchase a road grader at sometime in the future. The 262 turbo charged diesel engines was a great idea for that era, but to bad it was not better executed. Francis
