Default Re: DIY Home built compact tractor

Hi guys, Well I finally found an engine donor. Its a 81 VW Dasher Diesel.
The engine is longitudinal, but can be easely changed to take the transvers front WD transmission.
I spent part of the day trying to get it to start. It almost starts but then my weak battery peters out.
It sounds like its only hitting on one cyl.



This car came with the perfect radaitor, tall and narrow with an elect fan already mounted and has a thermo switch!
