B6100e d650 to d950 general engine removal/replacement questions

[Jjona5]

Does anyone have a link or some advice on doing an engine swap on a d6100e?

I have located a d950 I'm supposed to pickup in a few weeks.

I have done many creative engine swaps on cars, boats, trucks, and even recently an 8.1l fuel injected engine with an Allison 5 speed electronic transmission into a 1977 airstream argosy motorhome, BUT I've never done one on a small tractor and was curious if there are any specialty tools I might need or good places to find a workshop manual that might have torque specs. I'd like to have anything I need ready so the tractor isn't down too long.

I know the d950 will basically bolt up minus the upper radiator hose situation being a little different and it having a true alternator instead of the dynamo.

All I can add is that I had a d950 engine in an ancient Steiner tractor that I felt was amazingly powerful for its size. I think you will be very pleased after you have sorted the swap. Good luck.

Upper and lower radiator hoses are smaller, you will have to neck down the radiator end of both.
There is nothing needed specialty tool wise to get it done.
The D950 could have a dynamo or a true alternator.
If you change the oil pan, change the pickup tube too.
You can get the WSM off Kubotabooks.com

I might just purchase another radiator and use normal hoses. Those all aluminum radiators are fairly reasonable. I'm guessing I would just buy a 7200 radiator and it would prob bolt in.

I always remind folks to insert a wooden block on BOTH sides of the bottom of the engine at the front axle. This keeps the engine from flopping to one side or the other when it's unbolted from the transmission. I always block the rear tires and roll the front of the frame forward, but to each his own. It's a simple process.

I might do the clutch while its out, should I get a 8200 clutch/pressure plate? I looked up the parts and the b6100 with the d650 and the b7100 with the d750 use the same one but it seems like the d950 uses something different.

The clutch is based on the output splines, has nothing to do with the motor side of it.
In other words, no do not change the clutch to a different clutch there is no difference between them as far as HP that they can handle.
I have several B7100's that have D950's and D850's in them and I've never had a clutch issue.

I don't know as far as the radiator, I just necked mine down and have never had an issue with doing that.

very helpful.

Anyone know the ballpark weight on a complete d950?

I had one shipped years ago and If I remember right with pallet and mounting brackets it was 450lbs?
