The Farmall engine does not have a common bore and stroke with the A4, so the pistons and rings would not work. Likewise the connecting rods. I have also had people *swear* the A4 is an old Jeep engine or has many common parts with one when the Jeep engine is utterly unrelated.

While I agree that the A4 was never used in a tractor, the farmall engines do have a lot of common parts with the A4. If memory servers me right (and this comes from way,way back) the pistons, rings, connecting rods and bearings were all shared with both designs. I know we used a lot of those parts when we rebuilt one in the mid 80s, the dark ages. I don't want anybody to buy parts based on my memory, so please check the specs!

The A4 has no common parts with a tractor with one exception. There is a “land” version of the carb that can be found for cheap and was used on a lot of industrial equipment. It is quite dangerous on a boat because instead of a scavenging tube to suck extra fuel back into the engine, it has a drain to let it run out of the bottom of the carb.

You can now build an A4 that is vastly better than the original stock engine. Moyer Marine (http://www.moyermarine.com <http://www.moyermarine.com/> ) and Indigo (www.atomic4.com <http://www.atomic4.com/> ) have any number of modifications and accessories that did not exist years ago. The A4 is arguably much better supported now than it was 20 years ago. There was kind of a “dark age” of A4s where Universal quit making them, the aftermarket was not yet mature, and most shops would do a ½-A55 job of fixing them at best and tell you to buy a new diesel.
