Hello, I was wondering what I would have to do to perform a diesel swap on a tractor. Thank you!

Depends on the engine. Air cooled, liquid cooled, single cylinder, two or three cylinder, what size tractor would it be going in? Lot of variables

Lots of different engine swap options. Just need to adapt it to the frame, make sure it fits under the hood and line up the belt(s)...

 

If you do please post lots of pics!!!

we sure could bench race this one!  A bit of fab work is to be expected... or just get yourself a DXi and call it good.

Having some experience in swapping diesels into the C series WH tractors maybe I can help. The Chinese single cylinder diesels are a pretty straight forward install. Going with larger engines complicates matters. What are your plans for it after it's completed? 

For simplicity's sake sticking with an air-cooled engine for your first project makes good sense.

:WRS:  I did a diesel build last winter. I used a Hatz 10hp air cooled engine.

 

Here is a link to the build, there's a bit of reading to go through but there is some info on the install.
