Now that it’s cooling down in Phoenix finally I’d like to get some more progress on this project. Does anyone have thoughts on the question above? Is there a chance this pump is reversible? Or am I going to need a gearbox/contraption to spin my engine around to drive it from the back? Thanks!

Does anyone know if the other engine options available for the 700 rotate the same direction? Or are mounted “backwards” like the Wisconsin? I’d imagine Bobcat would use the same pump across all engines, and thus would either require them all to mounted such that they spin the same direction...

I’m thinking I’ll turn the motor around and run a jackshaft with a heavy chain and sprockets under the engine then back up to the pump. This also gives me the opportunity to tune the gear ratio if I find that 1:1 isn’t ideal

Good thought! Unfortunately it’s not the original coupling. I have confirmed the spin direction of my replacement Diesel engine which does appear to be backwards :(

So in this view, I need to spin the pump the direction of the red arrow correct?

Hello again all, I have taken a break from this project because I have to work on it outside and it’s been +110F all summer in Phoenix. I’ve also been having second thoughts about some concerns brought up previously in this thread. Member @gearbox mentioned that this engine may spin the...

Thanks! I have a friend with a waterjet and my plan is to have him cut a plate that attaches to the flywheel with a large through bore. I’ll turn a shoulder on the lovejoy for a snug fit, then weld it on. The ID and keyway on the coupler for the original Wisconsin engine are essentially...

Something like this. I’d like to make so I only have to disconnect maybe throttle cable and electrical connector to remove the whole engine/cooling/fuel system
