782 Command Repower
 

Saturday I am going to pick up a 675 hour CH18 out of a 21#?. It comes with the complete wiring harness which is a plus since my ignition switch is green on the back. I will rewire the tractor the way I want it. Which means as few wires as possible! :biggrin2:

Since I won't be using my 2135 driveshaft for the 2072 diesel repower, I will use it on this. I have both adapters that came with the shaft. The engine side will bolt right up. The trans side is tapered internally. So I am going to take it to the machine shop and have him mill the inside to 5/8" and machine some of the taper from the outside to drill the hole for the spiral pin.

Does any one know how different the engine mounting holes are? Will I need to drill new ones in the plate or make an adapter like the SEW Vanguard kit?

Travis,

Sam will be along and be able to fix you up. He is the driveshaft adapter king!:beer2:

I know he is!:beerchug: I have one of his adapters for the Super.

My question is actually about the holes on the bottom of the oil pan that attach the engine to the tractor. Just wondering how different they are from the KT/Mag to the CH?

Apologies if I was unclear. :beerchug:

Hello, i'm wondering the same thing about those holes. I just did this yesterday, took a command out of a 218?. Couldn't see model # cause somebody painted it green! I remember reading Sam's posts about useing those drive shafts for something. Guess i'll have to go post hunting. Mike:biggrin2:

Is this the thread you are referring to?

I can't answer your question today, but I'm getting ready to stab a CH in a 682...... I'll find out, but probably not before you need the info.

You can use an engine plate out of a Cyclops that had a Command in it and it is a bolt in , and you will need some spacers between the plate and engine.

There is an old post you can do a search for , i think it was 582 COMMAND SWAP. It shows where to drill new holes if you are using the Magnum engine plate , and other good info.

If you go with the Cyclops/Command engine plate , and you have to buy it from someone parting a Cyclops , see if they have the Command muffler and heat shields also. The muffler is compact and will clear the grille.

Yea thanks, that's one i read. I thought i saw a post where someone cut a 2000 shaft and slipped a solid 5/8 shaft inside and pinned it. Don't know what app that was for though. Mike; ps made sled out of that 2000 greenish fender pan going to pull firewood out of the woods right now.

Thanks Darrell! I did a search on "repower" but didn't see that one. I'll dig a little deeper.

I have the 1864 that I was looking at this morning. I agree the cyclops plate would be the way to go. I really hate to drill into that pretty red plate. :Sad: But it's got to be done!

Don't think you will be able to use the 2135 trans adapter, it should have a taper bore in it. They are made out of powdered metal and they are wicked hard to machine. I have an adapter to fit the 5/8" pump shaft with the spirol pin. As Darrell said. 1864 plate, spacers, muffler and drive shaft and it's all bolt in. Basically you'll end up with an 1864 with a metal hood. Call me if you have any questions, you have my number. Pics are of the adapter you'll need for the pump.
