Here is a pic of my latest project

2. From 350 up

I paid 350 for the engine and 100 for shipping. I've seen them listed for up to 1200 bucks. They cost the government 2400 when they were built.
A new 14 hp Kohler like what my tractor had on it cost 1800. it would have cost me more to rebuild my kohler than I paid for this engine. I made the adapter plate to marry the hydraulic pump to the engine myself. I have a toy lathe/mill. I say toy as its a china made medium sized lathe that a friend bought new that his widow sold to me after he died of a heart attack. I can machine up to a 16 inch circle.
The tractor is hydraulic drive with no mechanical connection at all to the transmission. Hydraulic pump turning a hydraulic motor. Pretty cool setup.
