well I started my project. Its going to be a slow moving project but ill update as I make progress
My master plan is to install this Yanmar 3 cyl diesel sitting in the corner of my garage, and have my drive system to be hydraulic. also want to have a piston powered dump body.
I cant really think of any other way to power the cart besides hydraulic, the rear end is already chain driven from the electric motor. im building for a farm/yard truck and im only looking for 20 mph max. (if you have ever ridden in a TD you know why)
I know im going to have some clearance issues, I may have some space between the bed and cab for the motor.
I am by far not a hydraulic expert, so i'm definitely going to need some help when it comes down to that part.
also looking for places to purchase stuff like universal radiators and coolant tanks,
here are some pics.
Perfectly good running TD
finding a lot of rot. stripping all the rotted panels, and welding in some new frame pieces in a couple of spots
