Update... and more questions! Good news is.. I got my locked up 219 out of my 450B (tore it down and only damage was #4 rod bearing spun)... Moving forward with replacing it with the 239... Turns out that the Injector pump on the 219 accepts both bolt patterns so i don't have to swap out the front p...

Thanks for the link.. lots of cool stuff in there.. I wish i had time, patience, and pocketbook to do a build like that! Loved all the pictures. So i kept digging and found a little more info on my casting number.. I found an online document someone had compiled of casting numbers from a whole bunch...

Everything you said makes a lot of sense.. great insight.. thanks! Yes I plan to switch everything over from my current engine except the fuel injector pump.. mainly because replacement engine is 3 bolt type and my original is a 2bolt type.. but now I'm wondering if I should go the extra mile and sw...

I couldn't take it any longer.. pulled the head. measured bore at roughly 4.187" . So, I'm pretty sure it's a 239ci which is 4.192" bore.

It looks to be in really good shape.. still see cross hatch on cylinders..

Are there any concerns about replacing a 219 with a 239 in an old 450B?

Very interesting.. I didn't know about the two types of blocks... do you know what to look for? I have the pan off. I'm switching over the pan from my bad motor over to this one.. this one only has a thin steel pan.. my 450B has the heavy cast iron pan.

Hi Jim. Thanks for replying.. I just found out that the engine came from air compressor machine, apparently not a tractor. So that may explain the France connection... And no, I don't know that it is a D219.. that's actually what I'm trying to figure out, without taking the head off and measuring th...

Last weekend was bad.. Locked up the engine on my 450B FrontLoader (D219)... Found a "good" replacement engine.. Long story short..replacement engine is in great shape but i don't know what I really have! Things that make me wonder - - Engine Tag is missing - Head casting is clearly a D219: R57078 -...

Just wanted to follow up.. turns out this was a 1967 350... owner didn't get the engine to start but i could hear a knock when it was spinning over. I ended up not buying it even though i could have gotten a killer deal on it... I just don't have time or spare change for a (another) project right no...

Thanks for the read-out on the type and SN... I'm still gonna go look at it next weekend.. it has a backhoe on it too.. Lavoy, if i get it, i'll reach out to you on those disks... Thanks! BTW.. I have a backhoe on my 450B... Model E0093.. I need an H-Link for it.. I can't find one.. Any chance any o...

Yeah.. I think you guys were onto something there... I just got the serial number.. I'm thinking a straight 350 now.. Can you confirm:
Type: T4E3D
Serial: 044109T

Wow. thanks everyone for the fast and very helpful replies.. I'm trying to get the model/serial number from the seller.. apparently it got painted over and he's gonna try to clean it off tomorrow.. I'll post it here when i get it.. yeah I have my doubts about it being a C model too.. that's why i as...

I need some advice. I'm looking at buying a JD350C. Owner says it will not pull on right side. It isn't locked, it just doesn't appear to engage on that side. I have a 450B that I've replaced steering clutch/drum/bands on... so I'm somewhat familiar with how these things work... but I don't know any...

Hi, anyone know where i could find parts for an old 93a backhoe? I need the H link.. part number is U42813 .. My backhoe is on my JD450B. I think the 9400, 95A and model 500 are the same.. I also need the little spacer that sits underneath the swing cylinder, part number U41099. Anyone know where I ...

That's a great idea on putting in the grease fittings. The clevis' look good on mine. Do you remember what size drill bit for drilling the pin holes back out?

I'm trying to tighten up the lever action on my steering levers of my 450B-A... I've got new bushings and pins for the levers, but the small hole for the pin has worn out.. I'm thinking about welding the hole shut and redrilling the holes. Has anyone addressed this before? Can I mig weld it? Do I ne...
