[QUOTE="Harv1, post: 56330, member: 7638"] Hello to you all from Ontario Canada! Just registered but have been lurking for awhile now since I picked up this Ford Skid Steer. I'm looking to re-power my CL40 with a more popular engine. The little Ford V-4 was ran without the governor.....so you know where this is going. My question is, would a 30-35 hp Briggs, Subaru, etc have enough power in your opinion, to be a candidate for this machine? I have been researching this to death and I see where many other SkidSteers use these big v-twin engines for re-power but I'm concerned about the torque difference compared to the original Ford V-4. according to the web, the little V-4 produced around 80-Ftbls of torque in the mid 2000 rpm range.......that's quite a bit higher than the V-twins I researched.
