Hello all, I have finally found a nice Ford V-4 engine for my Ford CL40. I was wondering if anyone would have a parts break down of the engine. I need to see which side the drive hub bolts to the flex plate. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Nice job! How heavy is your Bobcat? I was surprised seeing the hydraulics on the tractor lifting it up!!

Oh ya! The V-6 thing is still on the table. If I can find a "good" 2.8L carb V-6 engine for a good price, I may do it. The newer 2.9L was fuel injected and I'm not sure if it as the hole for a distributor. Man, come to think of it, I could have a fuel injected V-6 skidsteer LOL!!! Joking.....it...

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...
