Combines Replace Deutz with Cummins IJ

[Brian]

I've heard of a company called Memo (spIJ)that supposedly builds engine parts identical to Deutz...its like they are an aftermarket set-up. I believe they are located in Texas and do lots of work for Duetz engines in construction equipment. If you can't find them I heard this rumor from the Kinze dealer(Swanson Implement) in Armstrong, IA. try him maybe he can help. Good luck

I have seen kits set up to replace Gleaner engines with Cummins engines. Check with your local Cummins dealer. Costello Diesel in Fairfield IA,(319-365-2933) is one name I have seen for Cummins swaps. Another is Hunley Sales in Austin Indiana, 812-794-2771.

You need to talk to Tom at ladd and sons, They did an r72 a couple years ago... As i recall Tom said it was harder than you think.. I was thinking of doing one a years or so ago, and tom gave me the n of a guy who made a kit.. Call Tom at, 1-806-272-3308.. Sure are a lot of people named Tom around Gleaners .. must be a requirment or somethingIJ

I would strongly consider replacing the Deutz with a cummins. I don't believe that you would gain any performance or fuel economy but I think that reliability would improve. You can buy a brand new l-10 cummins for less than the $10,000 dollar figure you quoted and a decent used engine for under $5000. The biggest obstacles would be the installation of a radiator and adapting the hydraulic pump. Any competent machine shop should be able to make an engine mounting and drive plate set up. The total cost could be slightly higher than rebuilding the deutz, but you would end up with a more reliable unit.

yes, they did install a cummins. you should see the mess they made. only reason it happened is because they could not overhaul a duetz and get it to run. one should get a broader input before deciding. it can be done and work. vstk
