DIY Home built compact tractor

[Nat]

You don't need a little 3 cyl perkins 400 series diesel for it do you? I have one I'm going to be selling in a few weeks that would sound mighty nice in there. Later, Nat

Does it have the same SAE bellhousing flange mount as the VW engine ?

Check in the photos and find a 2N,8Nor9N Ford and you can see the radius rods.

True, but front axle have some axial movement on king pin.
On that home made tractor, there's no possibility for axial movement, so, idea is not applicable.

All he would have to do is weld a block on the side of the axle and drill it to facilitate a king pin and the idea is very applicable!

Limiting yourself is the fastest way to fail

If my memory hasn't gone completely, I believe the picture shows a nicely restored 9N.

Hi
You're memory is good that would be a 9n or my memory has gone as well.

Looks like a combination of 9N rear axel with 8N sheet metal. How much is 8N or 9N wouls require more study.
