WOW! That was one serious project! Not just a diesel...but also power steering, hydraulic connections all over the place, dual brakes, and full gauges. Wow! Only thing its missing is foot controls but i guess without a loader...thats not a must..lol. Just thinking outloud, i wonder if anyone has turned dual brakes into hydro controls? That would be cool. Very NICE!

Just out of curiosity..how do you find the power in that engine? My father had a kubota tractor with a 2 cylinder. We ran a 48 inch mower under that for years and it would start laboring a bit in thick spring grass. We never plowed or pushed snow with it. Pretty sure it was called a 12 hp diesel. I kinda think the dealer screwd up and that tractor was meant to have a 42" deck. The 48 was for the next model up that had the D-600 3 banger. Oh and im just thinking...we also converted that 12 hp to hydro drive! We were asking a lot of those 2 cylinders.

I watched the build over 2 years, every part was modified! I think the only stock parts are the seat and the steering wheel! And maybe the tires/rims. We talked over a few things and some where all dave. I certainly don’t have the patience that he does ! I’m not going to bring up his newest project but it’s a bit more stock, I think it’s 5 years in the making? I remember early on helping with Parts, I was living at the old House, I moved in 2016
