Hi, would anyone know the deep specifics of an old Detroit? I have a 1967 John Deere 5020 with a 8v71 Na Detroit re-power. I bought the tractor close to 15 years ago and was never able to run it because it had an arms length of issues. Now I've started a full restoration on it and I've had an in frame completed on the Detroit. I must have called a dozen places to rebuild the engine however no one would mess it and finally the diesel/semi shop that has done work for our power stroke said they would do it because the lead mechanic has "some" DD 2 stroke experience. The engine only has 10 hours on it and the John Deere dealership put it on their PTO water dyno and at 1800 RPM with rebuilt S55 injectors it's making 170hp. I feel that's a bit low and I'm wanting to know what could be the issue. If anyone could enlighten me I'd greatly appreciate it!
I've attempted to attach pictures so hopefully they come thru.
