| I am looking for a JD 359 engine for a JD 3155. I know it was used in a few models of the Manneheim tractors, but was it used in any other applications? Is the 359 a pretty good engine? The tractor is rated at 96hp. |

Sac & Story county IA | It was in 9400 combines. Some front end loaders. Some of them broke the front pulley off the engine. I had a couple, trouble free for me, but not all of them. |
|
| |
|
Devils Lake, ND | They sold it for industrial uses as well, often turboed. |

|
| A 359 is what is in my JD 1990 model year 9400 combine. I think it's rated at 165 hp in a combine. The combine motor has a pretty bad reputation according to most people but it has worked fine for me so far.

south central nebraska | There is quite a few of them on irrigation wells around here. Sparrell is right about the rep in the combine, seems like deere tried to squeeze too much out of it for what it was. The later ones used the 414 or 6.8L just a larger displacement of the same series engine(combine). The tractor engine shouldn't be a problem though. Seems like cavitation erosion of the sleeves was the worst thing i have ever seen with them and that can be controlled with a maintaince schedule with the coolant. Just my .02 cents worth.

Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums. | 9400 combine, late 4050 tractors, 544E and 544G loaders, 2950-3255 tractors, 7200 tractors are the one I know of that had that engine. They later called it a 6059. I'm pretty sure a 6068 will bolt in the same slot. |

NM | They put the 359 turbo in the 4050 before going to the 414 natural aspirated. |

|
Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums. | I think it was the other way around....early ones had 466 natural, then they switched to 6359T. |

Northeast Illinois | Got a 75kw genset powered with one, and a couple 6x6 irrigation pumps with them. Have been good runners for us. --- Greg |

Brazilton KS | 300 series 6 cyl are probably used more for OEM uses then 400s are, but Deere didn't use them that much in native machines. If I am not mistaken a 329 or 359 should for sure fit and a 414 will likely fit. If you go turbo and 414 you could get HP up a long ways if you want. Perhaps not the best idea in the world, though, in that particular tractor. |

NW Washington | I think they had some early torsional balancer problems which resulted in crankshaft breaking on combine engines. The engine is made in Saran France. It has powered the larger 6 cylinder Mannheim tractors for quite a few years. |

West Central Iowa | A very late 4420 combine will have a 359 in it. Or if you can't find a 359, I don't think you would notice much difference with a 329 and they should be very easy to find used, as 4400 diesel & most 6600 diesels had them in. |

Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums. | The 359 in my 7200 was made in USA. If the starter is on the left, its a USA engine. I guess that means a 6059 and a 6359 isn't the same thing? |

| Thank you for all the replies. The engine has a hole in the side of the block so I will be looking. I have a 329 in a 2840 and hope that I don't have to settle for that engine. My 329 is not a great starter in cold weather and has never been since new. Is the 359 any better for cold weather starting? |

Thompsontown, Pennsylvania | 4435 deere combines also had 359 turbos in them, don't know about the 4425's....and second to whoever said that a 359 in a 9400 combine was probably trying to squeeze i bit too much out of it....seems to me from my impression of the 359 in the 2955 i had, that 105-110 is probably max.....fairly lively in a 2955 but have been told the 7200 can be kinda doggy....maybe the turboed 359 would change my opinion but is all too late, am a red guy now lol |

Thompsontown, Pennsylvania | grandpa bought a 2840 new in 78, started very well up until about 10k hours, no either needs plugged in or eithered below about 25 degrees. The 2955 would start up to about -5 degrees with no glow plug, either or without being plugged in....typically would plug it in as it definetely started smoother that way, but had the wrong cord a time or two and tripped breakers. No biggy on the 2955 but you were cussing and looking for either in the same situation with the 2840. |

near dyersville iowa | I talked to a deere mechanic about that once. Seems the 9400 s with the 359 were good with a 4 or 6 row head, and no hopper extension. Try to do too much with them and the motor was the weak point. |

far sNSW , Australia | I think 9920 2 row cotton pickers had them also |

Crawfordsville, Arkansas | We have a few 359 Deere power units. All made in Saran France. Good engines. They just keep going and going. |
|

|
Upstate Ny | we have a couple 359 engines. one in a 2950 and another in a 3255. best starting engines on my farm. engines are good for 9000-10000 hours before needing a rebuild. we have reduilt the 2950 and another farmers 3255. good running engines.and excellent starting engines. |

| We had one in a late model 4050 tractor. Good on fuel, started easy. If you ever need to replace the water pump it will be $$$$. Overall good motor. |

East Central MN | We have one in our 4050 loader tractor. Last I looked it had well over 13,000 hours. Its never been apart. |

Grandfield, Ok. | 484, 7440 and 7445 strippers all used the 359. 329, 359,and 414(6.8) are all pretty well interchangeable. On 359 one needs to replace the harmonic balzncer quite often as they have been known to break cranks. |
|

|
Brazilton KS | I think all 4420s were 359s. We had one of the last year 4400s and it was a 329. |
|

|
| I have a good used 6-359 and 6-359T. Which one you want?
I am located in Cantonment, FL |

Is a JD 359 engine a common engine?
