Ideas for a 3cyl Diesel engine

captjack · Jan 26, 2018

I got a free Kubota g5200 with a lil 3 cyl diesel engine. I got the motor running and now want to use the lil motor for something. I think its 13hp. and had radiator etc all together

1) possible use is for my Timberwolf tw5 splitter - Diesel splitter would be cool
2) in a golf cart or gator - might be to small but for running around farm ....

Thoughts ?

Would it have enough hp for a TW-5? I'm not sure but if it's enough it sure would be where "I" would put it...

It sure would make a neat little generator though...

I have a 40hp Kubota motor I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do with??

Make your own generator? Assuming you don't have a whole house one already.
Power a big pump to squirt the Chesapeake back in when it rises too high...
Power a small crab boat
Would actually make a decent motor for a boat generator if you had a boat without a gen

I spent many years boating on the Bohemia and Sassafras. If you are a chicken farmer and hate boating, sorry...

TractorData.com Kubota G52 tractor engine information

Generator, leaf blower, hydraulic power source, pump, gopher gasser. Lots you can do.

Can crusher or margarita machine, you’d be the only one of your friends to have a diesel powered one, no matter what you chose.

I can help you with this. I'm looking for a small diesel engine for a water well drilling rig in Haiti.

You’ve got the whole little tractor? What’s wrong with the rest of it? I’d be inclined to fix the tractor. I see that it had an optional snowblower. If you’ve got them, working on the tractor might be a good project for kids/grandkids and help get them away from computers for awhile.

If I had just the engine I’d build a race car, take it to the salt flats and set the 600cc Diesel land speed record.
