inexpensive diesel engines
Somehow I found this site:
http://members.aol.com/westernstar66/indianlisters.html that lists a 20 hp diesel for $3250, a real bargain for a new engine compared to most diesels for boats. These are low rpm diesels that can run on vegetable oil and are very efficient. So, what would you do for a transmission? Maybe you could use a belt with an idler pulley that was lever controlled. Tension on the idler pulley would sorta regulate the speed. Maybe the engine has a speed control, I dunno. Reverse would be a real problem. These look heavy but just cool as hell. I love simple stuff, great engineering. |
