Default Small, cheap diesel?

"Lloyd Sumpter" wrote in message .. .

Hi,




Any suggestions on where I might look for an old, cheap, 5-10hp diesel


suitable for an inboard engine? Maybe a tractor engine, or


"stationary"...? Any thoughts?


Yanmar make new industrial engines, both air cooled & water cooled.
Nice units, run at ~1800 rpm. Gearbox might be a problem, I don't
know.

They used to make little air cooled marine diesels complete with F-N-R
box. I have one under my bench for exactly the reason you want one :-)
Was too good to pass up; all I need is more time to build the boat.
