[QUOTE="mx_599, post: 76729, member: 10170"] I think I found a handful. There are a couple Kohler, a Perkins, and maybe Yanmar all had small engines. Kohler even had a liquid cooled diesel that looks perfect. It was very expensive. However, if someone found a nice condition 1816 and had the money, don't you think the small Kohler would be perfect? I am good mechanically but would start to struggle if too much fabrication was necessary. I guess I could pay someone for that but I like to do as much as I can. do I mainly need to just find would that will physically fit in the space? What kinds of things would need fabrication? Also, I have seen mentioned that possibly mismatched engine RPM to the hydraulic pump could be an issue? Does this sound correct? In other words, is it because the gas version would run higher RPMs than the diesel? If this were a problem, could one likely just bolt on a hydraulic pump from a larger case skid steer? Or is it not necessarily that easy? I totally understand that all this I am asking about is probably not worth it on a small machine with limited capacity...but I still think it would make an awesome project. Last question, how "delicate" is this machine? If someone had a little more power behind it than it was meant for would they cause structural damage and bend stuff or not likely? Thanks everyone!
