LD465 RULES!!! Who needs a stupid turbo??? Lots of power with the NA engine. The rest of the powertrain is identical.

SCRAP,

The non-turbo engine will do you just fine. I have just that and it can do anything a turbo engine can do.

This non-turbo truck has been running the trails and pits for several years now. Seems to do well even running the 53" tires.

I owned one turbo and 2 non and I really miss my NON turbo's. On the long hills, any turbo deuce will out climb you in speed if its long enough but on the straight away, a non turbo deuce will pull away. There is a timing difference between the 2 engines and I believe this is what makes the LD just a bit faster. When I am back on the search for a deuce, I will be preferring another LD. Kept all my spare exhaust parts for the thought.

I have two turbo deuces and the M275 that is NA.....the little tractor will pull just as good as the deuces......but you have to watch out in a pull if the fuel is turned to it....if you keep your foot in it you can get it hot quick.

I know owners that have lrft the timing alone and others that have adjusted it. It shouldn't make much difference.
