I love the looks of those pipes especially when pointed straight up instead of forwards.

I agree with that!:beerchug:

That's pretty cool. I'm curious what the fuel consumption is like. I've heard that engine really drinks gas.

Those axle tubes are interesting. They appear to be a different design that what it would have originally come with, unless the super cyclops tractors had different axle tubes or something.

That is a pretty cool find. I, too agree it's amazing the engines put in these cubs. On that hydro, is that silicone on the gasket or just the gasket? I've always heard that RTV silicone and hydros are a no-no. Those axle housings do look beefy. Nice find:beerchug:.

Great find! I didn't know that the engine was gas!

That is some type of RTV sticking out and I was thinking the same thing about them using it. I will get some more shots of the carriers to see if they changed something. Does anybody know why they put these engines in these tractors when they were using the D-640 diesel at the same time? I would think that they were close in price but I would rather have had a diesel if I were buying it new.

I wondered the same thing a few years ago. I bought a JD 322 that had a Yanmar gas engine in it. I was told it was a diesel block. Of course I sold it but have always wondered why they would do that.

You will like that engine, the Yanmar I had ran smooth and quite with a lot of power and I would expect this to be no different.

Well, I got a chance to work on it today and it runs great. Needs some fine tunning but I'm just happy it runs. The engine is very smooth and the hydro and steering work great too. The wiring is a mess but I guess thats typical on a cyclops. Does anybody make new wiring harness for these?

Todd have you checked Porch Electric yet? They are pricey but well worth it. They have ebay auctions if not you can get them thru their web site.

Looks like the bearings in the PTO are shot.
