is there a fan blowing on the radiator .. i could'nt see one ? j.b.

Yep, under the radiator blowing the hot air up. can't see it. I mounted it within the original radiator shroud, which I moved from the engine side to the outside.

Do you think this is a little premature? It is getting cooler.
Actually was plowing dirt and rocks today. Lots of power.

Wow, really nice machine, Love those tires, I can't wait to see that machine in action, it only takes a few modifications to make a MAXIV the boss. here you go:

it's 96 Lbs. wet with radiator.

That is lighter than the 27 HP Kawasaki engine, LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Very neat package.

Kubota power did not disappoint at Busco, until it did.
Too much torque for the original engine base plate.

Time to build a newer stronger engine mount with thicker material and removable legs to make easier repairs.

I'll also make some new motor mounts that allow more access to the trans.
More pics to come.

That looks like it's going to be a nice engine platform.

Thanks Drew.
Even with the thicker tabs and legs, it's still lighter than the original, and much stiffer.
