I'm getting ready to do the same thing with a WD, Gerald. Both engines are in my shop, just not side by side yet. Am I looking at much problem in the way of the WD front crank pulley being put on the E engine? Anything you know about the switch would be greatly appreciated! Are you happy with the switch?

Charlie,
I had to bore out the crank pulley to get it to sit far enough back on the shaft. Some people suggested cutting off the shaft, but I was uncomfortable with that idea. I haven't done anything with the governor housing switch over yet because it's running really good, but I've seen where it's possible to put the wd housing on the gleaner. Here's a posting I ran across here regarding the switch. Not my words but covers it pretty well.
"It is a pretty simple procedure. You will need to do a couple of things to the engine before setting it in there. First of all take the WD crank pulley and bore it out to the 17 crank. Take your WD water pump off and drill out the holes for the new block. As far as governors, it is a whole lot easier to take the front four bolt governor covers off both engines and replace the parts than to replace the whole set up. All you have to do is knock the plug out of the gleaner engine. The WD governor shaft that you need requires you knocking out the roll pin and pulling the shaft out. (make sure that you pay attention how the shims and springs are in there) Before you put that shaft in the gleaner engine you will need to take the bushing out of your WD housing and put it in the other one. Trust me, it is a whole lot easier than it sounds. The next thing is to make a plate to cover the fuel pump hole in the block. You may have to adjust a couple of oil lines with a hammer but nothing extreme. Finally put your WD flywheel and clutch on there and put it in the engine. One thing to make sure of; if you have any doubts about your clutch needing to be replaced, now is the time". Happy wrenching and enjoy the extra horsepower!
