Wow, that looks like a lot of work! Where did you took the engine from? A truck? At which horse power is it now operating in the tractor? if its running at the nominal power used in the truck, then it will not survive very long, if you really use it for farming! Tractor engines are drastically reduced in power output to survie hours of constant full load operation.
It was a lot of work but with the help of friends it wasn't that bad, the engine is from an old Mercedes bus, It has about 200 horsepower (the factory number), there is no problem the gearbox and differential is very strong from the factory, the tractor is used like a normal tractor plows etc.
@@LordTheodore04 The tracor and the rest will be fine (probably), but if you do stuff, where this engine is used with constant full load, it will die. Farming is one of the most demanding uses for an engine. Look at plowing: The engine is at 100% power for the full day. You start in the morning and you end hours later. Beside driving an electric generator or stationary machine there is no other way to consume more diesel in a shorter time. A truck is limited to 80 km/h and every hill will finally end but in your tractor, the hill is endless. Trust me that Daimler never designed the engine to survive 200 HP continous power. Our International 423 tractor has a 42 HP engine, but International put the same engine also in trucks and there they pumped it up to ~65 HP. 42 HP is the continous power and 65 HP (or whatever the trucks had) is the short or middle term power rating. We had a way to big hay tedder attached to the tractor and used it for hours at 35°C in the sun. The exhaust was blue, but the tractor and engine fine. Same day, same weather and try to force the truck with that 65 HP engine fully loaded over the alps? Will overheat. Do it permanently? Will die. And it is not the question of a bigger radiator! If it was that easy, the companies would have used the same engine with different radiators setups for different power ratings instead of designing different engines for every few HP steps. Simply keep that in mind and don't try to use the full egnine power with the biggest implements available because you now have it. Be gentle with it. You can take advantage of it at road transportation. Accelerating or going uphill without loosing to much speed, because again every hill will end but on the farmland you will quickly kill the engine. also i am not totally convinced, that all bearing and gears will take nearly doubled engine power at full load scenarios without any long time issue. Maybe you can find out, if there was an industrial version of that engine used for generators or stationary machines. the power rating of that version gives you quite a good inidcator. But have fun with it! It's a great project, i just want to make sure, that you have the most fun of it without certain engine death.
There is no need to worry, thanks for all the details i will keep in mind. I am sure this has no problem because my father (the person who made this swap possible), has done this to 3 other tractors which are 15 years (or more) older and still operate normaly.
@@LordTheodore04 was the shaft between the rubber connection to the engine output and transmission input replaced yet? In tests for adding more powerful engines to the ZT-300 they usually bent up after a short while.
This setup is better than original and it will work without problems if it is perfectly centered, my father had the exact same setup in his personal tractor, it has been 17 years and it still works without problems

Warum muß man so ein Stück Ostalgiegeschichte so Verschandeln?Zu seiner Bauzeit war er ein gutes Stück,welches Dank unserer alten Führung nicht weiter E twickelt werden durfte.Hab selber Jahrelang einen bewegen dürfen und zu der Zeit waren die Menschen auch noch etwas ruhiger und sind nur mit Vollgas durch die Gegend gelaufen
I'am from the eastern Part of Germany and I tell you this is a raping overkill to install this West German shit! Without the east German ingeniers Mercedes never had the development of common rail engines at this Times
Spitze gemacht. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Das nennt man Schrauben. 👍👍
👍
That sound of Mercedes engine
very cool👍
Sehr gute Arbeit 👍🏻und schöner Saund der ZT 300....💪 Gruß Jens
Thank you 🙌
👍
thanks
Piękna maszyna
Gratulacje
Thanks 🙂
Echt ne krasse Nummer!
Thank you
Was für Hinterräder sind da verbaut ? Auf Original Felge ?
Tolle Arbeit!!
Thanks, it has 520/70R34 petlas
Danke😁

yes indeed 👍

Yes check later videos
Hält das Getriebe leider nicht aus 🤷♂️🙈
The previous tractors my father built exactly like this have been plowing for 15 years no problem.
Red Ursus 1202?
Its a zetor crystal turbo
@@LordTheodore04 160hp orginal turbo?
It's a 4 cylinder 100hp turbo engine, i don't know much more

Zetor cristal turbo .
Steht es zum Verkauf? 👍👍

You can check out the latest video to see it finished
Respektable Arbeit aber wo liegt der Sinn? Im Original schon mehr als gut.
the original engine does not have enough horsepower for the work
@@LordTheodore04 90 PS in einem Traktor aus den 70ern ist zu wenig?
@@stefanjurgens5832now it is 180hp
Und was hält das Getriebe davon???
@@stefanjurgens5832no problem at all, my father build an other tractor the same way 15 years ago and it still works great

i agree it's a very good machine, but it just does not have enough horsepower from factory
Fortschritt zt 300 non ha 6 cilindri
🤔
@@LordTheodore04 ho letto dopo che hai messo un altro motore 😅.
WTF, what a shit engine swapped in this nice Tractor, what a shame 😱😤
Its a lot better than the original
I'am from the eastern Part of Germany and I tell you this is a raping overkill to install this West German shit! Without the east German ingeniers Mercedes never had the development of common rail engines at this Times
Swap to the IFA L60 6 cylinder this is the better way
If this engine existed in our country we would happily install it
Swap for leyland sw-400 ,sw-680 .Thats Sound like dream.
