D198ER diesel motor...what to do with it?

[juddspaintballs]

I have a freshly rebuilt White D198ER 4 cylinder diesel motor with all of the accessories. I bought it when I had a MEP-004a generator with a blown motor, but I sold the generator to someone who needed parts and now I just have a brand new motor all crated up just sitting around. I can't think of anything to do with it, though. I believe it's 44 HP at 2000 RPM.

Does anyone have any ideas...or have their own use for it? Worst case, I'll keep it crated up and in the barn. It's getting harder and harder to find a good industrial, all mechanical motor these days.

Advertise it on a few prepper sites, ask a lot for it. It is the perfect EMP proof engine.

what would it sell for? $$

I paid 1250 for it and spent another 250 or so to get it shipped to me from Oregon. I'm not opposed to selling it, but I can't imagine there's a big market for them either.

Get a Ford Ranger 4x4 with a blown motor on the cheap and have at it. There was a guy who did just that with a 28HP Jinma Diesel and a Mazda B2200, same truck as a Ranger. It would get 45 mpg and run 60 mph. Toughest part was having an adapter plate made to put between it and the factory 5 speed manual.

That was "Danthefamilyman" he is around here every now & again & did all the machine work himself in his own shop.
He had some copper gasket made to fix a head gaskets would only last about 30K miles as he was running it very high RPM for little ole china 3 cyl eng. He is up in north west of USA (Oregon or Washington from memory) the thread is in CHINA tractor page & rather inactive now maybe a year since last post.
