We kept the trucks "Ölmessstab" because it is too narrow between the fuel pump and the engine, we don't have the tools needed...

Yes the engine fits the trac with no problem. But as you see on the right hand side of the engine, the brake tube from the brake sylinder got bent when we lowered the cabin , so the head of the engine, and parts like fuel filter and intake/exhaust manifoild is built somewhat different than the original engine. It fits, but only just. Be careful when fitting the new engine, and it is a good idea to be more than one man working...

The trac pulls in 8th on every asfalt roads here in sogndal. The old engine also did this, but only at top speed, and no load. If I had to reduce speed, it was almost impossible to get up speed again. Now I can almost go down to idle with no load, and it pulls right away. And before, we had to use the split (zwischengange) often to accelerate, but now it is almost not used at all...

The old engine consumed about 1liter per running hour when driving on roads (40km/h).

I think the new engine also consumes a lot less fuel than the old one. Even if it has a lot more power and better torque. Strange...

Tonight I have been driving the trac for about 6 hours wrapping balls(silage(?)?)(not sure what you call them). And it has performed as intended.

There is a small exhaust leak, but only noticeable when driving downhill brakeing on the gears. Will seal it some day...
