[QUOTE="phlegm, post: 97600, member: 12227"] Its been a while, but progress has been made. I had the flywheel machined with a recess and 4 threaded holes for the drive adapter. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160509_Governor/IMG_3178_zpscdebbzle.jpg[/IMG] The stepped lip will help ensure that the center drive can't wobble out of round. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160509_Governor/IMG_3177_zpsb1ymzzxr.jpg[/IMG] Up top, I solved my carburator/governor issue. My Dad had a power unit off of an old Versatile 400 swather that ran the same Ford 200, he gave me the carb, linkage to the governor, governor, governor mount bracket, and the special thermostat housing with governor mount bracket. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160509_Governor/IMG_2387_zpsqhzgxevr.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160509_Governor/IMG_2388_zpsws26kszn.jpg[/IMG] And then after a lot of foot dragging, and waiting for one of y'all to show me how you get the motor in and out of one of these things; I finally decided to just do it. With a standard engine hoist, you can't go straight in, because there is a huge solid bar across the top at the rear of the skidsteer main body. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160915_MotorInstall/IMG_8342_zpsykbonojj.jpg[/IMG] I kicked around a few ideas, and then decided that the lowest tech solution was the route I'd take. I moved the engine up into the rear of the skidsteer as far as I could go until the chain hit the solid bar. Then I put a long 2x6 board under the motor that reached up to the engine/pump adapter box and all the way out the rear of the skidsteer. I lowered the engine down onto its oil pan on this board. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160915_MotorInstall/IMG_8340_zps829zjjzs.jpg[/IMG] I used muscles to slide the motor forward father into place, then I had to use a floor jack to lift the rear of the skidsteer far enough to slide the legs of the engine hoist under the main body. Then I reached over the top of the bar and lifted the engine back off the board and moved it the rest of the way back into the engine bay and used a combination of ratchet straps, prybars, and the engine hoist to get the engine aligned to the pump adapter box. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160915_MotorInstall/IMG_8441_zps5y6fima8.jpg[/IMG] I've got half of the bolts in place to attach the engine bellhousing adapter plate to the pump adapter box, plus the two alignment dowels. Engine drive flange to pump input drive looks good. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160915_MotorInstall/IMG_8442_zpsiivh0zev.jpg[/IMG] Originally I had planned on a 180 degree u-bend for the exhaust, down then back up and out the top. But now that the motor is in there, I don't see that as an option. Plan A: run the exhaust under the motor and up the other side, then out the top to an external muffler. If this doesn't look like it will work, I'll go with. Plan B: Build a new header that has an exit so that it goes straight up and out the top. So working forward with plan A. Somewhere along the line, I picked up this U-shaped exhaust. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160915_MotorInstall/IMG_8469_zpszot43v6y.jpg[/IMG] It has the shape I want, but the dimensions are all wrong. So I started cutting and welding. I cut the flange off and bolted it into place. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160915_MotorInstall/IMG_8470_zpsznntvdtv.jpg[/IMG] I cut the original u-bend very near the center and used a couple tack welds to hold it together for test fitting. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160915_MotorInstall/IMG_8472_zpsnuugq6oe.jpg[/IMG] At first I cut the pipe too long, then I tack welded it together at the wrong angle, but finally I got the first bend tack welded into an orientation. [IMG]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv256/phl3gm/automotive/Case%201830/20160915_MotorInstall/IMG_8474_zpsh1nzpa7f.jpg[/IMG] I hope to get to the rest of the exhaust soon. And then I'll get motor mounts built. I do have a slight interference between the oil pan and crossover fuel tank compartment, but I think I'll be able to lift the motor just enough to clear it.
