Planning, Plotting, And Scheming- Name TBA

Parts!!! A 63 amp Delco 10si alternator, and a couple Honda motorcycle radiators.

LOL, I have an alternator just like that I'm putting in the red fox!

Seriously??? You have a Kubota 400 series with a CVT powering your CAR? Do me a favour, PLEASE- Put something in Off topic so I can learn more!

2-Google Edit... Do you have an Aixam?

were holding it hostage till you promise to put the kubota in :v!

so what ya decide on doc? blown, turbo'd or naturaly aspirated?

LOL...

Well, N/A for now. Engine runs good, no need to mess with it right now. After the tractor's built, I may look into a turbo. Seems to be a better choice for diesel engines. Finding one cheap, though... Dunno.

look for an old SAAB at the junkyard

Might be an idea! Pretty sure there's not much chance of me laying hands on a cheap Kubota turbo.

Meanwhile, I been trying to figure out what to do with my plans. Y'all know I've got a nifty John Deere 112 waiting in the wings, with a loose plan to make another MULE-like machine. Then, there's this thing which I have been loosely referring to MULEII.

That won't do.

First, the Deere will be done long before this will, and this really is a scratchbuild, as opposed to a bunch of mods.
Second, Johnny D will be much closer in function to MULE than this totally off-the-reservation-creation will be. So... As of today, Johnny D officially becomes MULEII.

This thing? Still working on a snazzy new name...

THE TRANNY CRUSHER!!!

Yeah, umm- no. That's all I need. The LGBT community freaking out because I'm threatening to "crush trannys"...   

Bolenator?

No. I got a thing for acronyms, like MULE. I had one in the shower the other night. Think I can remember it? Hell no! LOL

sounds awesome doc!

Doesn't it, though? A friend who saw the video remarked that at speed, it's so smooth and sweet it doesn't even sound like a diesel. Curious to see where it caps out. Previous owner turned the fuel delivery and governor up a bit. I tached it passing 4000RPM, and then got off the throttle again. Don't want to free rev-it to death. Once it's all up and running, I'll figure MAX RPM with a load on, to keep things from breaking.
