Wanting to build a 7060

I'm looking at building a 7060 into a farmstock tractor.  I was wondering how difficult and what is involved in eliminating the power director and going to a dry clutch.  I looked at a 7030 a few years ago that Dennis Bobb had forsale.  It was a farmer superfarm and it had been switched.  He had bought the tractor years ago for the motor and the rest had sat in the shed the whole time.  He said he had the top cover off it out of curiosity and had wished they had switched to the 7000 rear when they were pulling.  It still used the 5 speed and the high and low range, so it was a 10 speed...  I'm getting rid of the the 3 point, pto, and steering so I dont need any of that.  I just wish I could remember what they had done to make the switch.  Thanks for the input.  Anybody have any ideas on how heavy the rear is on the 7060?  I'd like to get down to 9,000. 

Thanks ed, it wont be an AC power plant under the hood though.  Hope that doesn't kill all my help.... lol

It doesn't kill help from me, but it does kill it from being a farm-stock puller. 

Id be interested in that 7030 tractor that's for sale , id like to find a 7000 series project

Where are you going to pull it as farmstock, with a non stock engine ?

Are these your rules?

903 cummins in a Massey 1150 was legal.

Can't get called a cheater in this class though! At the Tampico pull a lot of the prostock guys stayed to watch our class and thought it looked like more fun than their ppl class. Of course, one of the tractors in our class was on the ppl tour a couple years ago...

Before I put a Detroit 40 series in that tractor, I'd think about the 516, or a big V8 Deutz from the R72 or whichever combine used it. It's as legit as a 903 in an 1150! Once again, a class started with good intentions, and suddenly it's completely out of hand!

That kinda sounds like you and me Ed. We start with good intentions and then we get out of hand!!!!!

40 series are a heck of a good motor to work with, so is a sisu. Just wait till the big 7 cylinder gets up and running in ntpa.

A little mis-information here. Detroit built their own 50-55 and 60 series engines. Detroit needed a smaller engine to complete their engine line for the medium duty truck market. They purchased the DT-408-466-530 engines from Navistar. This generation of engines is NOT the same thing as an IH tractor engine and is metric when it comes to nuts and bolts. There was no lawsuit.....Detroit was buying the engines from Navistar. If you actually saw one of these Detroit series 40 engines (again 408-466-530 cubes) they don't even look like a DT414-436-466 from years ago.

dr allis have you seen the new ones? you are a very smart person but I think you need to look a little deeper. and yes you are right they where brought from Navistar just looked it up but their was a lawsuit. with the early agco allis over it.

dr allis im talking the bus engine that all the ih's are running. ih's original 466 does not look like identical to that engine. but that's just me I may be overlooking something?

Just to clarify, there are speed limit classes and no speed limit classes. I'm wanting to build for the no speed limit classes. The series 40 has a completely different head on it. The intake side is amazing but from what everyone has told me, the exhaust side sucks and there's not much that can be done. Thus, the dt head is still overall better. The guys that have the good running series 40's have aluminum heads. (Hurricane Allis ect...)

Your original post was how to install a dry clutch after removing the hydraulic PD clutch. It can be done and I would guess Dr. Allis can point you in the right direction. There are also different range gears to be used to have a bunch of fast gears (two high ranges of different speeds) and some different speed gear combo's (4th gear specifically) which may be helpful for you. He knows that stuff pretty well.
