So I did a thing... Agria 8900D

Getting the engine running had to be relief for you.

Best wishes on getting rest of problems repaired.

That is the best part of a project like this for me. I love hearing an engine fire off after a rebuild.

It was indeed a relief seeing the engine running. Sounds great, no weird noises, about 60 psi of oil pressure (cold 15W40).

Can't wait to bolt it back to the front gearbox so I can run it a little longer without the thing trying to jump all over the place.

It sure brought the motivation levels higher.

You mean it doesn't have a harmonic balancer?

It has a big a$$ fly wheel, does that count?

So I guess there is some vibration on a single cylinder diesel engine

Just a touch. Enough to shake most of the shop and have things fall out of the shelves.

I know from experience an old Kohler 12 HP “K” series single shook the crap off my work bench but like PT was super happy it started and ran.

Interestingly enough, the ground has been shaking quite a bit lately.
