Diesel swapped 417-8

[Botaswapedtratter 7]

Hey all, just posting my wip horse, here’s a couple details on it

 

did I overpay for the tractor? Yes

was it worth it? Probably not 

does it smoke? A lil 😏

what have I done to it? 
 

 

Fixed tie rods

made new clutch brackets 

Fixed snapped off clutch pedal

Painted frame

threw the KT17 in the dumpster (where it belongs) 

still working on getting the steering gears meshing right, almost have it

custom motor mounts 

Put a kubota z482 in it

made a quick swap drive pulley system

clutch spring 
custom rad mounts 

Ran new coolant lines 

spaced the hood forwards and up

 

i still have to add an alternator and another idler, it also is getting a hood stack once I have the whole hood situation figured out

 

so far I think I’ve been working on it for three weeks, but almost every day for quite a few hours

More pics!!!! I have a chance to buy same motor, but dunno how it would fit under the hood.

It looks like it doesn’t  In the first video I see a stack of spacers under the front. 

 

@Botaswapedtratter   I too would enjoy more pictures!
