Default 3 Cylinder Diesel

well I got my hands on a good running Yanmar 3 cylinder diesel. im thinking about doing a hydraulic drive system in a cart (pump off of the engine and then hydraulic motor attached to the rear end).

I was thinking about seeing if it will fit in my TD. Then fabbing up a dump body operated by a piston, I think it would make the coolest farm work horse. but the TD works fine now and I would hate to tear up a little classic.

Or go with a rolling chassis of some kind, but looking at my G9 its probably not going to fit in a regular golf cart.

here is the motor, it already has the exhaust, starter, water pump, fuel solenoid, injection pump, ect. I just have to mount it and wire it and plum it to run.


the TD


looking for some input or ideas for a project! Thanks guys!

If you use the hydraulic motors, you will be VERY limited on speed. That motor should be a torque-monster. Why not use the stock clutch setup?

What's the max RPM on the motor? The clutches are somewhat adjustable. Maybe a 1.5:1 jackshaft?

It will fit and work great, here's a Kubota I installed in a Club Car for a customer. It runs plenty fast enough and has lots of pull.

cool it does fit in a cart. I may go with a rolling chassis or electric cart then

how did you mount the primary drive to the motor? did you use some sort of a jack shaft also?
