I think Roy put an 11hp aluminum block engine into his, not sure if he needed any mods other than wiring. The bad thing about this series of tractor is that you kill the collector value on a B-1 by hacking it to put in the 10hp, but most of the original model 19 engines are beyond repair, crankshafts and rods are NLA and most wore them pretty badly. I rarely see one of these with an original engine, at least in my area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
