Talking What could I do with this?

3 cylinder diesel motor. Its small about 100 lbs . I inherited it and it has always been inside,and I know nothing about diesel. I do not know the brand, I cant find any markings on it anywhere. I have seen similar motors this size on the big huge riding mowers the school district has. It needs a new home.there is no starter. I do not know its condition.I will take best offer.

Very cool - Depending upon what RPM it turns I could picture it running a 15K generator head.......oh there I go thinking again.

I would scout out a starter - cleaned up and running it would bring some cash.

Attach it to the generator head and use the waste heat from it to heat your house. Run it off of WVO and you would really have something.

It looks like a Yanmar. Good motors, at least for Kubota and John Deer compact tractors, also sail boat motors.

I agree with aaaahhhh ,izick, go with WVO but run the house on it!!!!!!!!!

That's a Kubota D905. I had one for awhile and I was going to put it into a Geo Metro.

Bgkast,

I sent you an email. I live in Battle Ground, WA. Maybe we can work a trade. I think we met at the last Portland area GTG.

Here's what you do if it's so cold your diesel fuel gels. Smear some on some toast and stay inside until it warms up outside.
