And so it begins.
 

This afternoon, I got started with the engine swap on my 1712.

I decided to keep the wiring harness in tact, for possible use in a CCC built red 782, that I also need to get running. So, I bought a complete harness and key switch, and will be swapping it as well.

Are you installing an M-18 ???

:bigthink:

Or a Vanguard?

...or a Command?

Or a Kubota…

Or a Honda?

Or eo ........

Maybe the best of the best....an Onan.

I was thinking maybe a Subaru

Yes, an M18. It came out of an 1862, so there are a few differences. The 1862 engine has a different/much larger PTO pulley, and the fuel pump is different. The muffler exit pipe is longer, but some measuring and a hacksaw fixed that. The muffler shrouding is also different, so I will have to transfer that as well.
