Fordiesel69 259 #1 Posted May 9, 2013 In looking at my 875 model, I cannot see how a big block 10 HP would fit in that small space. But the book shows 875/1075 on the front cover. What was different to accomodate the big block. My 875 is a very awsome unit, but it is way underpowered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sorekiwi 761 #3 Posted May 10, 2013 The few short frame tractors that used a 10 hp engine, used an engine with a special oil pan. Dont seem to be able to find a pic right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin 2,131 #4 Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) the k241 is a small base engine with a low height oil pan to be able to fit the engine under the hood...... the small base engine doesnt have the 'ears' that the larger oil pan bolts to. a special short dipper connecting rod is needed as well. there are other differences too, but these are the main 'engine' ones........ normal wheel horse spec pan on a large base engine on the left and a low height pan next to it. i see the kiwi beat me to it while i was out in the garage with the camera.....

Fordiesel69 259 #5 Posted May 10, 2013 Thanks, looks super rare then..... Looks like a regular one won;t work. Oh well. I wonder if it is a special dipper, or if it can just be ground down a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin 2,131 #6 Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) If you have a shallow pan and one of the c series isolator engines (or any small base kohler big block k for that matter) you could put one together. I have read on here that members have cut down the dipper to fit the shallow pan before. I don't think it would be too difficult to measure the length....... Just remember measure twice, cut once. Cut it too short and you will have no 'splash' I got the shallow pan to do one myself, just too many other projects on the go........
