Engine Swap

[23 Reo 221]

I am considering putting  the motor in my 72 Raider 14 into my 84 C-165.Will this be a difficult swap?

Is there anything I should be concerned about? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

David

The Raider has a wider oil pan and mounts directly to the frame. The C-165 uses a cradle type mount. At the least, you would have to remove the cradle and mounts and possibly drill new engine mounting holes in the frame.

remove the cradle mounts and should be a direct bolt, the holes should be there already. the wiring may be different, the raider should be a trigger fired ignition and the C165 is points. some body with more knowledge should chime in. the raider 14 is a fairly rare tractor though so think about what you do carefully most raiders were 12 hp or less. very few 14. just my 2 cents worth
