My new 644 arrived

Came with this little diesel engine, a two cylinder Kubota z400. Unknown working condition, and it doesn't yet fit in the tractor. The PO got it from someone who was working on the repower but didn't finish.

Some parts are missing, mostly small stuff like a couple of loader pins.

That will be a cool and unique project to finish. Should have ample power!

I took a picture of the bushing used for the engine mount, that the PO came up with, so that you see it, first picture.

This tractor is not in as good shape as my other 644. But I need to make it functional asap, to sell the other one.

Sooo, why are you doing this Eugen. I guess I missed something, didn’t read posts, maybe read it and forget
( most likely) , or there wasn’t a post about doing this ?
I’m kinda in the dark here ( which is normal for me ), any way. What’s what here Eugen.

When you get that one running, send which ever one you don’t want to me. :D :D :D :D

Noel, the 644 that is working well and in much better shape cost me a good penny. Plus I refreshed it a bit, and it has 3pt hitch and hydraulic pto. Hoping to sell it for the same good penny. This basket case I just got was cheaper so I fix it, keep it and save some money. More headache, yes. But life is such.

Wow @Eugen that’s one heck of a project! Luckily you have more that enough skill to make it happen! I wish you could keep them both, but sometimes that just can’t happen. I’m looking forward to seeing it come together!

It goes without saying that any of us would LOVE to get our grubby hands on a Kubota diesel powered 644.

You'll have to put the radiator up front, right? I'm presuming you won't fool with an electric PTO for a deck or whatever. I'm guessing that means the hydro oil cooler will go on the lower left side of the steering tower, like the later Ingersolls.

Does it have the newer style hydro tank? That's the way I'd want to go.

I can't wait to see progress!!

But if you get stumped real bad, I'll send you my shipping address.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
