Hey guys, how's it going? Hey, we're going to continue on this. Bobcat Skid Steer I Bought about two months ago. a quick backstory on it. We already have one video looking into it.

The previous two owners that had it remember somebody had but the last two owners. neither one can get it running and they kicked it to the next person. They kicked it to the next person and then we got it. Well anyway, the last video we figured out why it wouldn't run and the fact is the engine is pretty much cooked.

It's got no to low compression. We did a compression test on it. it was 140 I think 120, 40 and 120 is what we got for compression diesel should be. you know, 300 something like that between 250 and 400 and it's nowhere near it so there's not enough compression for it to uh, fire off.

So uh, other things I Kind of found out since then originally so the machine is the Bobcat 642. This is a 641, 642 and 643. well the one in the three. both of those were diesels and the 42.

it was a gas. so this used to have a Ford Industrial like 32 horse four-cylinder gas engine in it and somebody put like a reefer unit Kubota three-cylinder diesel in it that is now cooked. I Don't know if we're gonna try to fix what this one has if it's savable or not, but the plan is we're gonna start and we're going to try to get that engine out of there, tear it down and see what happened to it. So without further Ado let's turn on some wrenches.

looking under the machines like they were nice not to rch a hole for that. anyway. okay right there big old nut. We looked and gave you an assessment.

The first time around there we go. The oil is over full. A lot of people were worried that if it started it would have rained on its own diesel. Yeah we got push-packed by the Rings and rain on it.

which it could do, but that's nasty huh? All you got to do is you choke the Air Supply off to it. Trees are ready to go. You make it just in case. Make it easier to dump right? You hate when you fill the tray up to the very top and then you gotta walk away with it.

I Will let that piss out for a minute. Yeah. put the plug back in. All right, let's see what we need to do to get this thing out of here.

We'll probably just get rid of the battery. They made this linkage for the throttle coming up before you bolt it right there. We'll mark where it was. We got a wire for the glow plugs I Already disconnected the fuel for they had wire nuts on it I disconnected the fuel pump so when the key was on it didn't stay running.

You got some starter wires down there I Will guess these charge wires go somewhere fuels one side's already disconnected. There should be a return somewhere There it is that little hose right there. That should be a return back to the tank coming off of it and I don't know my ideas. We're gonna try to get in there like with the fork truck blade.

maybe like right here. Try to lift up and slide it out of there has a package. we'll see how that works out. Maybe we may have to take like the fan and the muffler off to give us more room, but before we get into that, let's get rid of some of this other stop and get a better.

View Tight They looked apart though. Pretty beat. A throttle. looks like it's got a bunch of adjustment.

Let's just kind of give her a little witness mark where it was a little dot in the center too. There we go about the guitar wrap. We'll pull that up out of the way to the side. Kubota Engine So why don't we label things with Kubota orange tape.

So I think I have all the cabling and wiring disconnected from the engine? I'm not. I'm trying to figure out what the best way to get it out of there. so I See they took the Cradle This original cradle here is probably what this engine came with and then they modified it to fit. My guess is this is the original cradle that came in here and looks like they welded a plate there, welded a piece of angle there and then the block is just kind of sitting on motor mounts height.

You know that's how much room we have to work with. I'd say that's probably eight inches between you know that and the muffler and we would have to. They even welded it right there, welded and bolted it. I Think we can cut it, slide it out, but the oil pan still drops down.

another. we got three or four underneath there so that's gonna be really skinny. So I'm thinking maybe we'll try to take it with this whole plate as one assembly out of there. I Don't know how we're gonna be about getting the forks underneath it.

if we can get like after we both, it will like pry it up and see if we can get the forks close to being in there and just I don't know. walk it up. let's um, we've got to figure out how it's tied to the hydraulic pump we're going in. Hold on, All right.

So let's see what we got for a coupler back here. I Don't know if any of that is like a slip fit. I See a universal right there? I Guess we can take those. Um, let's go pop the light somewhere.

Will that turn? Well, the engine's gonna have to turn because you'd have to get those four Allen bolts off of that cap? I Wonder if it'll split right there on its own? You guys got a better area than I do so far. I Don't know what that coupler is. just presser yeah, presser pressure holding it. Let's um, let's get the four bolts motor mount bolts off of it.

We'll see if that plate will slide forward and see if a gap opens up. If not, we'll have to try to figure out how to uncouple that in some fashion. things nasty. I'm never gonna complain about working on a gas engine ever again.

It's all just packed in Greasy Oily, two inches thick at crap, stuck on the bottom of there. Get those four bolts undone? Did they go out the bottom? Hopefully. Yeah, they do. Okay, those four bolts are out.

Let's pry on a little bit, see if it's uh oh yeah. slip forward about an inch. I Got an eyeball back there. Let's see if it, um, pulled off that coupler.

It did come forward. so so I put a pry bar on it I Think the camera was not on but I went to go pry on it and it slips forward with the four bolts out. Not that much. I Took a peek out back.

There's a like a spline that's in kind of like a dry shaft and that is, um, coming out so we don't have to worry about uncoupling anything. We got to figure out if you could pry this up high enough. we'll get like a two by four. maybe in the middle and I'll be able to get the fork lift forks on each side of it.

Let's give that a shot. Watch your fingers. Big mouse trap a little higher I Don't know you got room to work I wonder if we can get it? come forward a little more? Oh, we get two of them going so you can get off that coupler. Oh I don't want to leave its home I'm gonna take a peek back there, see how it looks.

Feels like we're getting hung up on something. It's coming back, but not. what if you get a pry bar right on there? Maybe it will push on that shaft a little. Hmm.

and if we need a room that's giving kind of Swing to push I'm gonna get a block of wood behind it. too bad. put our foot on there. It goes all right.

Just rusty here. Watch the radiators up above I can keep wiggling on that until you get it to pop forward. Worst case, we're going to wrap a chain around it, hook it to the fork. Looking back up, it's coming out just doesn't know it.

There it goes. I Think that's all the way. Yep, she dropped. All right.

Let's go get our fat fingered friend over here. You just slip it in. All right. That made life easy, didn't it? What a mess that's in there.

Look at the mud looking pretty tiny now. Now we got out of the hole. Stop it. Oh, you got going on in here.

There's a big pump, our valves, the Um cage kind of flips up. you can access that stuff underneath the seat. it's got It's like going separate access to it until he needs a bath though. huh? And what we got for a couple of there looks like it's got crusty and Rusty and we got on this end a little four bolt, five bolt flange attach.

It looks like it had a pulley on there one time. huh? You got belt pulley? I Guess maybe that's what ran the reefer unit. Maybe that probably ran across to the um, the AC pump. Yeah, it's the numbers on a D662.

What'd I say before? Six, two, two. All right. So at least I Still have to spread it, spread it, split it from that motor mount. you gotta be able to get the oil pan off the cylinder, head off of it, the exhaust off of it.

I Gotta stand over there. Let's um. I'll back the forklift up a little bit more and we'll see about getting a um a stand hooked up to the end of this and we'll try to lift it up off that. Keep it on both of you here.

We'll lift it right apart out of that pallet possibly hopefully. And now we can kind of spin around and work on a little bit. All right, let's get that operating I'll give her a couple of marks as we take stuff apart just in case some stuff is keyed in a certain way. you know that looks homemade.

it's torched out. Is that holding that on there too? I Don't know if it went yeah, went through that look. they made spacers for that to work I Think we could leave the I don't know, can we leave the flywheel on I know we got to get probably this bell housing lock their rub off there. let's get the starter off.

and yeah, because we're gonna need to be able to bolt of that anyway. I Don't know if we're going to want to spin it anymore. we can always go back and put stuff off. Let's get the flywheel off.

Get this plate off. they the same size. Nope. let's mark that.

how would we Mark that from the center out for one of them in case it has some kind of balance you're getting. These are a little persuasion foreign bolt back in, it's coming. It doesn't fall on our toes. so what do we got? I Think this plate has to go.

It looks like all the hardware, huh? It's like this holds the this section of motor mount, but these are holding it to the block just trying to figure out how we're going to get it in a stand. You know, like what we're gonna pick off of. Yeah, we're going for our executive decision. We're going to leave it on the forklift for now.

We'll keep picking away at it, see if it's even necessary at some point. I Would guess we have to get the oil pan off of it. but look at some of the other crap off. We'll get the exhaust off.

It looks like it's got just six bolts holding it here, all the cobbling. and Welding it's been on that and we'll get like the alternator off. And you know that kind of thing. Foreign.

It's getting smaller by the minute. I'd say probably. Well, this break. this is what was holding the radiator up.

Let's get the alternator. It's like two bolts. one bolt, one's missing, one bolt out there. We'll take that whole bracket assembly off and one bolt going across here.

This whole assembly should pop right out of our way. Yeah, that'll fall out of there. A couple of washers should come out. get the belt off of it.

nothing. Hold me, You forgot one. No, you forgot one. Guess you gotta take them all out.

huh? There we go. Well, I'd like to get to the point: you get the cylinder head off. I'm looking so the brake is right here. between the block and the cylinder head and the camshaft.

The leaves down below looks like we have a bunch of head bolts. Look like they're all accessible. Looks like they cut a mount off here off of something and it has a front timing cover on it. I Was hoping to get like get like this pulley and stuff off I Think we split the water pump right there, but this looks like there's a whole front timing cover.

It goes all the way down and around one. Bolt It's one bolt there to get that neck off. but I Don't know if that's going to be an issue. Force I Think we might be able to break it.

We may be able to take the head bolts off and just lift that head right off of there when you get an idea of what's Happening Do we need to take the Rockers off? See if there's any bolts that are hidden underneath Now we might be able to get in between them. I Also, take the Rock Assembly off. anyway. it's gonna I'm undecided.

Yeah, those are going to fight us so we'll take that rocker assembly off. We'll lay that out the way they were and then I'll drag the head bolts off. We'll see if we get that cylinder head lifted right off of there without taking that front cover off. I Don't know if anything goes through it.

I Don't see anything right away. I Guess you're gonna find out, right? Hey, let's get the Rockers off. Foreign. Those um, valves had a lot of play in them too.

So I'm not quite sure what we're gonna find. What's your guess? Write it down now. I I'm kind of doubting blown head gasket I think it overheated and I want to say it burned up the Rings that's my guess but again, it's still just a guess. We gotta take the um, the glow plug strap off too to get those bolts.

All right. let's see if we can get this out of here and try to lay them out the way they came apart like ridiculous valve clearance like a normal valve's got like yeah, seven thousand ten thou. these are like 70 000. so I suspect something is kind of boogered up in there that caused that to happen.

Hey, we got to get this strip off foreign er down in there I gotta go crack those loose you guys are talking about. When did a compression test? You're supposed to do it through the glow plug location I did through the ejectors. plus to do it through the where the glow plugs are to check it. My thought was I screwed up but my thought was it's like some diesels do not have glow plugs.

they don't need them so I would think all of them would have just gotten checked through the injectors. Live and learn. All right. let's get a gun and start buzzing a bunch of those out of there so you can get the pot free.

Actually, we gotta take this hose off first. it's still connected the upper and the lower sometimes one like one bolt will have like a a pinch down. it would be like an oil. Passage Okay, give them a quick look, see if anything any of them look different.

like sometimes they'll be a little skinnier one and I'll they'll use that as an oil passage. look pretty decent. I'm gonna go pop all them out I'm just trying to give yourself a quick look some water on it. one too many in the hand.

All right, let's go get ourselves a little rubber mallet. give her a couple of TAPS to see if it pops off. Yeah yeah. I heard you I missed one Nagging me.

How about now? All right, we'll go. Sometimes you get a hidden one too though. They'll take something apart and they'll be like there's one more bolt under something that holds it down. I Think we're gonna pry on a little? Let's try to find an area that's um, might be a little forgiving.

There it goes. Attempting a little dowel pins holding them am I See what we got? Well, what'd you think? head gasket or other issues? Let's go flip the head over first as y'all put it on the bench. Let's get ourselves a rag, see if you can see any damage. I Need the head gaskets mostly stuck to the bottom of the cylinder head because this is just like the um, the little coating.

The little aluminum coating that's the oil passage right there sends the oil up. Let's um, we turn it by. didn't have much of a pulley, you put the flywheel back on. so the center cylinder had 40 PSI so we saw let's go.

Um, get ourselves a little light and we'll check out that bore. Let's go take a peek at the board, see what it looks like all right now. I Believe these are sleeves so you could take them. You know you pull that whole sleeve right out and put a new piston in it with it.

I Must say I Didn't expect to see a little worse than that because they had a lot of blow-by too. Let's um, for cracks in the piston? what is that across the center? is that that's just a casting mark? I was looking at whatever that was right there I think it's just a Mark that that's what's left of that triangle because they all have it and last one looks a little chopped on the end. it's that right there? Yeah, let's go flip the cylinder head over, take a peek at what's happened on happen on what's happening on that on that. Yeah, let's give her a flip.

Okay, because you would think with Blow by so blow by would be compression leaking to the bottom of the combustion chamber. I Don't think, get that off of there without nothing obvious yet or we can get behind it with a little camera. do we need? I Kind of want to not destroy it so we can see if anything happened There you go. nothing obvious I don't see it like blown across from cylinder cylinder again.

this was the one that was really beat and the valve clearance was super high on it. Hmm close look at the light, it looks like hey I can see I know it's optical illusion. the intake valves. the intake valves are always bigger.

looks like this one is sunk down more than that. Yeah these are more flush. This one's down a little more than the others but it had a ton of blow-by e so my guessing is um you know the Rings what else can cause it to have low compression? Yeah I can see like maybe jumping time like the the cam timing and the valves are just kind of doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. but I don't think you would get Blue by for doing that.

Yeah I'm just talking a lot trying to think it out as we're going along like I See you know something there, right? That's probably just from taking it apart. that little missing section right there so that would be. hmm. let's go look back at the Block I think you kind of do twos.

You're gonna rock the piston and see how much side to side they have. Let's um, throw the flywheel back on and we'll spin it real quick. I Want to see if it leaves? My guess is just that the cylinders are beat. That one looks kind of funky, doesn't it? Yeah, we get the flywheel back on it.

We kind of turn it over a little better. That's better Now we can turn it. injection pump. Still pushing a little bit of oil out.

It does look like there's so much antifreeze on it. I'm trying to look at the patterns it's leaving behind it is. Some of them are like that one, leaving a big score. like a dirt stain that's wide.

Hmm. Well until we get a couple of connecting rods off of there, push a piston up and take a look. We're not going to know are we can we Can we lift a skirt up out of it? Sure they get tapped out for the sleeve. rather.

you gotta get Tapped Out From the Bottom All right. so we gotta try to figure out what we want to do. Let's um. I was thinking about trying to spin it with the starter real quick.

I'm gonna cup it says you try to see that kind of vacuum you get, you know? Okay, so that one's good. That one's got good vacuum. It's also wet with water too though. That one again I think I'm just leaking.

it says you excuse you. It's gonna suck if we don't find anything I hate to admit it. but one thing I should have done before I Jumped the gun which is coming well actually because you had to blow by though. that's that's what kind of steer me I was thinking we should adjust the valves before we tore it apart just to see what that would have done.

You know the valves open and close a little bit more. Could breathe a little bit better I mean they were opening the the valves. It wasn't like they didn't open at all I'm just trying to. All right.

So we gotta get the oil pan off of there so that means all this apparatus has to come off. Well let me go see what I can do about getting that in a stand and we'll bore you with the uh, attempt of whatever that's going to take. Do we need to take this plate off? Does it go into the oil pan anywhere? Like does it get in the way? Don't know I only got it by three of them. just the bolt pattern is so tight.

try and letting it down. Let's go unbolt the the mounts on each side of it. get those plates off of it. foreign I'll leave those Forks down.

it should just kind of. The whole plate should just like slide right down if nothing's attached there. you go on. The engine is going to spin when it gets free, nothing's holding it I'm turning all right I Want to let that flop over and let all the fluid piss out of it? Let me.

yeah, back the fork truck up. Oh, roll it towards you foreign oil pan and lifters are falling out. It's not good. We kind of want to know where they where they go.

Let's give her a tap. Foreign I don't think so. You get out a block of wood. foreign, not terrible for diesel price.

like sludge I Don't see I don't see your parts laying down there. It's a good sign. All right. Let's um, try to set that Center rod.

it's got a bunch of oil in it. Let's go flip it back over and let it piss some oil out. I'm gonna back you up a little. I found each of my lifters as they fell out I found out what they fell out from like I'm lined up the Pistons have a bunch of oil in them.

let's let that pee for a little bit. I'm gonna take a punch I'm gonna Mark the top of the cylinders and pistons where they are just going to go. column one two three I'm gonna put little dings in them just indicating what they are. We're going to call the one closest to the water pump number one.

Let's see the oil pickup out of our way. Yeah, it's a little tight that'll give us a clear shot to the connecting rod and again that middle one I believe is our lowest so we'll pull that one first. Let's see, we got going on. Put that together, you o-ring or anything, it's already on it.

Okay I'm gonna wheel this whole assembly over to one of the operating tables. just kind of so we can lay things out a little bit better. Look at them getting all fancy with those Rod cap bolts I Don't know if you can get that with a 12 point socket. Maybe you'll prior to it I don't know if you can see it.

the glare is kind of getting it. They're not just like a regular bull head on them. Let's see what I got you and you hate when you get right to the Finish Line Yeah, don't have a socket that fits that. That's uh I think it's a eight millimeter 12 point I gotta go hunting for one.

Well it's a few days later and I went to a swap meet swap meets uh, flea market for automotive stuff and at England Dragway I picked up this. It's a funky looking set. It's kind of weird because I've never seen a socket set that had metric and standard on the same socket. So I don't question how it's gonna work out the R12 point.

So maybe they're meant to kind of like have some kind of funky technology that grips on the outside or something like that. and there's no. There's no quarter inch extension that goes in the middle. You've got to grab it by whatever that outside I'll show you.

okay. so if you pop one of these up off of here, it's just Hollow in the center of it. So I guess like if you have like a long bolt or something that you're trying to get over it and then you need to put a wrench on here to get it to give a turn, let's see if one of these will fit okay on those Rod bolts. That's what we got.

the seven and the eight F7 just doesn't quite go on. Yate goes on because it's got a bunch of play in it. Go figure right? See what happens? Let me go grab a wrench to fit that nice and snug and that would be half into our 13 millimeter. See, give him a crack stripping.

hopefully that went I think it did. That whole set was only five bucks. so good for the future itself. Even a weird bolt, huh? He's even got like a a weird pattern underneath it.

Let's get the other one out and stay still. Wow. magnet. Where'd you go foreign? Get a ratchet on there something I can kind of support my turn.

better probably should. Mark that cap before you pop it out of there. so you just put a couple of scratches on that cap. on that side did leave a mark.

Hey what a paint pen. Let's go Mark that side real quick. All right. You might be able to just gotta grab that cap and lift it right up out of there.

Yeah, see how the bearings are actually look remarkably? Well Me: let's go push that piston on out. See, we got I'm gonna back you up and one of you would kindly catch that piston when it wants to go fall out. Oh, it's gonna push real easy. Go.

Yeah, you're almost there. There's a ridge on top that's stopping it. Foreign, should be using wood instead of brass, but should be okay. Let's even get right on it and it's like one ring is.

Let me: um, I'm gonna rotate the block so that it's not going to try to fall out. Yeah, that's what I wanted to come out I Just love it. When a plane works and finally a piston, it looks like the compressor rings I Don't know if they're stuck in where they're wore out or they're broke or all the above. Let me go wash this in a parts washer.

see how this Oil ring here? It's got It's kind of like springiness to it. It's kind of stuck there too and these are just jammed all the way in. Let me go wash it. that's better.

Yeah. so I think our assumption was correct as far as it overheating. Now as you see, half of this Oil ring is floating still. you kind of push it in with you.

Now it's got some spring to it and this side's Frozen in. Still, it's frozen. pretty good. So that whole ring should be floating and be able to kind of spin around.

and the same with these compression rings. They should also be right now out of that Groove and floating so I Don't know if it was carbon that built up and kind of locked them in their place or kind of find the break on the upper one. Where is it? One thing that kind of looks good is so that must be the diameter of the cylinder how far the Rings are pushed in so you can see how far the Rings are worn. If this Gap right here was like this wide, then that would be the Rings themselves.

the surface of the outer surface of the Rings wearing off and they keep trying to Spring further and further out to make contact with the wall so that part of it didn't burn up, just the Rings locked up. It was just blow by. That's when I was cranking it over where the blow by was coming from. the compressions up here and the fire is up here, but it's escaping past the Rings down into the bottom of the crankcase causing that smoke to come billowing out of the uh when we had the valve cover off.

So that's definitely what the issue was with. Um, no compression. Ah, they sell a rebuild kit for them and it comes with pistons and jugs and everything. Let's uh, quick, take a little wipe down of that cylinder, take a peek what that looks like.

Hey, it's time to get up personal with it. Now as far as I understand like I said I think these bores pop out of here I'm a positive of that. but what? I've seen real quick on the kits. they come with this the sleeve so you have to worry about boring the engine out.

Get up in there and check it out. Yeah, you see some right? There was no oil in the coolant. There was no coolant in the oil, so I'm not worried about it kind of bridging a gap or crack those liners. Hmm, you would think you would see more of a you know defined sleeve right there.

I'm gonna take a wire wheel I'm gonna go clean a little bit of this surface up real quick and see what we got. I don't know I haven't seen much of a definition of a sleeve there, that's for sure. I Thought most diesels were sleeved engines kind of looking like it's one in the same there too much light for you. Let's go flip the block over.

we'll take a look at the other end of it usually. I'm looking right down like with it supposed sleeve would and you would see you know it wouldn't be a perfect line up to the base of the engine. actually looks like it's just all one piece. Sure that or it was cast in there.

Yeah, my assumptions may be wrong. Oh, let me gather my thoughts and then maybe we'll uh, have a chat. All right. So this engine that came out of here was a 662 and it has 650 CC Something like that.

and I think the horsepower rating when I looked it up is somewhere between like 16.9 and 20.. the original tractor had a gas engine in it. It again was, um, call the 642 whose numbers are going to get me and it has a 641 and a 643 are his two brothers. This was the gas version with a 32, uh, horse gas Ford industrial engine and then the 41 to 43 were both diesels and both of those were up around 28 to 32 horsepower also.

So whoever repowered it already repowered it with a smaller engine than what it kind of came with And my thoughts are it'll maybe move the machine around, but if you're gonna go stuff the bucket into a pile and try doing some dirt with it and you bear down on it, it's just going to stall the engine out. It's not, It's just not going to have enough oomph. You know it roll itself around, move material around, but I think it's going to be under, underwhelming, underperforming. And although I wouldn't mind buying an engine kit and trying to bring it back to life and clean it all up.

And you know, get that engine operating. I think while we're at this point, it might be more indicative for us to try to find something that's a better uh comp to the power source and you know again, a diesel I Want to say like 25 horse or something and so there's a seven, two two seven six two something like seven seven two which is like 750. CC's it's it's getting you up into the 20 horsepower and then there's a four-cylinder engine. A couple of those I looked into already and most of the time they come on like gas power.

Um, diesel powered generators like a whole house generator that was set out in your yard I think I showed in the last video up top I Have one I Really don't want to tear that system apart because I want to try to get it operating as the generator anyway. so I'll look into those. The problem with those engines are the they are meant for constant RPMs I don't know what they use for a governor. If you could take that automatic Governor that tries to maintain maintain I Want to think I think they run at 1800 RPMs and if you were able to make those so that you can have a throttle on them like this machine would use, those seem to be about the most available.

That and the ones out of reefer units which is again with this engine that we just took out of here was out of and you know, try to find a larger one of those so that's where we are. I'm not quite sure how it's going to end up I've been chasing stuff on Facebook Marketplace Um, it's it's a company like around a thousand bucks or so hopefully for a good running engine and the rebuild kits are roughly about 600. where is it going to go from here? I'm not quite sure I already got. You know, decent money invested in a machine that's not worth anything not running so it's in some fashion I have to try to get something.

Uh, back in and running and see people were asking about this little diesel we did I don't know about a year or two ago that we got and this is. you know, even smaller people would think it was a three or four cylinder. That's not. It is a Z Z stands for two cylinder, D for three cylinder and V for four cylinder and it is 12 and a half to 13.3 horsepower.

and again it's just not gonna. That's 29 uh, cubic inch engine. Although it ran good again, it's just too small for what we need to use it for. Yeah, hopefully you'll find use in something.

And here's that big generator I was talking about that we can possibly pick the engine out. This one's still a three cylinder, but it's a D1703 and I Want to say that one's like it's a 1.7 liter I forget what it said for um CC's but I think this one's around probably 30 horse more. comparable to what we need. but I think the governor set up on it you know, right? there is electronically controlled just to try to maintain RPM I Don't know if we can just take this throttle linkage right here that's locked in and maybe this is still functional on these I just don't really answer to that, but that would probably be more along what we need.

and again I really don't want to cut this unit up I'd rather try to get this thing functional, but anything's fair game, right? I Went into this one for 200 bucks and I think it's got an hour meter? Mount Yeah, right there. 581 hours on this system. So hmm. well guys I think we've gone as far as we can on this one, but we got an idea of what we're working with I'm going to take a little bit of time I think and prep everything.

some fashion and engine is going to go back in here, whether it be gas or diesel, whatever. Yeah, here's the different models of the ones. so that was the diesel diesel and this one's the gas one. They all look roughly about the same as far as their, uh, physical size.

what they can do, but again, just being underpowered. Yeah, Definitely needs a bath, that's for sure. it's got, you know? good. two inches of just like greasy muddy crap on the bottom, all scraped out and then it looks like up there it gets even worse.

It's like four inches worth a greasy, crappy stuff. So I'm gonna go prep all that stuff ahead of time. I'm not sure when we're gonna come back on this kind of thinking on the engine setup. I wonder if those kits are made for you to bore the block out and put those sleeves in and then you'll go forward? I Just don't know the answer to that I have to do more homework.

but I don't even try to find you know, maybe the correct gas engine that was in here and go back with putting that in there. Probably that is. you know somebody's already ripped out all the motor mounts and brackets and modified all that kind of stuff. So you have to.

you know it's not like you just plop right back in again. undecided. I Tell you. Well, we had to take the engine out and tear it down because it definitely was, uh, not gonna fix itself with us trying to go screw around with it and we have our answer.

All right guys. with that. I'm gonna sign off and thank you all for hanging out and doing some wrenching with me and trying to breathe life back into this old junk till the next one. I'll see you.
