Deere Engine Cross Help

[Parts]

Replacing engine on a Deere 310J. As long as I swap my accessories/flywheel/adapter I should be OK with a new long block 4045 engine right? Non-turbo to non-turbo. Just want to make sure there isn't a curveball in there.

Not sure how far you got with your supplier comparing build code to build code. If it’s a generic long block, the potential surprises I can think that could come up would be with the crankshaft nose ie:Tapered nose with single thread hole VS Flat nose with 4 threaded holes.
Also the steel timing plate for correct injection pump mounting pattern and some have an aux drive mount. You can swap the plate if not correct.
The crank sensor pickup wheel at the front of the crankshaft will not likely be supplied. It’s one time use so it CAN NOT be swapped out.

 

[Diesel Dave]

On second thought, I would confirm the timing plate to be supplied is correct.
Swapping the plate involves pulling the camshaft and balance shafts, you don’t want to get involved with that

Thank you Dave! I am going to have to lookup each replacement engine via serial number and compare then.

One other question: is the dealer the best source to figure out if these 2 engine serial numbers interchange? I can pull them up on the deere app but want to be sure before having customer buy. Is there a website with better information than the Deere Power Assist app?

 

[Diesel Dave]

I am not familiar with the app.
When I worked at the dealer we used the web site below whenever the Deere Power Systems site was down.
You may have to sign up for My John Deere .
