[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 6291, member: 82"] The problem with having more power behind the pumps is they can over heat. My dad was speaking to our local dealer about engines for a 743, they run a V1702. He said not to put anything bigger than a V1903, the V2203's have too much power and cause the pumps to over heat. Obviously this is when the machine is working hard, with the one that it was designed for is installed it will simply bog down and there will be no rish of snaping shafts. With the extra power it won't bog down and you won't notice its under extra stress. The only other issue i see is the fact that motor may not have a govenor, a guy i know that did a lot of welding as a kid had a V8 hooked up to a DC welder, it didn't have a govenor and when you sruck an arc it would just bog down. He then setup a little 1.5L engine with a govenor and it worked flawlessly. If you have any issues you may need to hook some type of govenor to it, if it works well like you said leave it be. Just watch the hydraulic/hydrostatic temperatures. I too would love to see pics of this beast!!!! [/QUOTE]
