[QUOTE="RJSStamps, post: 54612, member: 7242"] Success and failure.... The engine is in! One bolt actually holding it in place now! I spent hours again today trying to get that darn coupler connected to the pump but just wasn't getting anywhere with it. Finally swapped the short flywheel bolts with 4” long bolts and got a neighbor to turn the motor as I pulled the coupler onto the pump shaft....took all of 2 seconds! ARGH! Neighbor must have thought I was stupid or something though since I couldn't get it myself. Now the problem. With the coupler connected and engine all the way in as far back as it will go the front of the engine is sticking out the back of the bay an 1/8th of an inch and the front of the engine is 1/4 to 1/2 inch too high compared to the back. The only “fix” is to cut that area out of the back of the machine so the engine sits level. Figures, the torch is empty too. Using a sawzall will take all day and 20 blades, out of those too. This causes another issue, to get the radiator in will be to leave the fan off the engine and add one or a dual electric fan on the other side of the radiator so things will fit right. I have an old dual fan setup from a Jeep that looks like it will fit nicely. Just need to mount it to the radiator support and wire it up to a switch on the panel. So the result will be hydraulics cooler, electric fan then radiator. Glad I hadn't finished the radiator support as now I need to add mounting tabs for the fan setup to it. Need to re-route some wires and drill a new hole in the battery box for the positive cable to the starter and need to make some rear engine mounts too. Now the question, can I mount it solid with no rubber feet or should I have the rubber feet between the mount and machine? RJS [/QUOTE]
