Could someone tell me if a D17 series 4 engine can be used in a D17 series 1 tractor?

Thank You

Rob

Your choke linkage will be different or use your old carburetor. Your power steering pump would have to be grafted onto the newer engine, if you have power steering. Must use your old or reman clutch and pressure plate.

First Thank You for that information.

When you say power steering pump would have to be grafted onto the newer engine

do you mean that i would just move the pump from the old engine to the new engine?

Old power steering pump has to be removed from the old engine, mounted and gear lash set on the new engine.

A series 4 will be a different p/n but it directly interchanges.
