Stigian 1,234 #1 Posted July 26, 2009 I have a chance to pick up one of these big engines for what I think is a very good price. What do you guys think about them, do they have any know problems? Also has anyone fitted them in a Wheel horse before? Thanks in advance chaps :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #2 Posted July 26, 2009 Ian have you tried to move the K582 yet? That K582 may outweigh your 4 cylinder deisel engine. The K twins are/were even heavier than the KT series they used in some of the 400 series tractors....like the 417's They were used in the D 200's though. I don't know that they had any real problems or issues? If you get it I'll be looking forward to seeing what project you build around it. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigian 1,234 #3 Posted July 26, 2009 Hi Stephen, it's not so much what im planning to build around the engine, more of what I hope to fit it into.. I won't give away too much here, but do you think it is possible to fit it into..er... shall we say a C-125 chassis and still have it drive the trans in a normal or non D-200 kinda way? If the chassis would need to be extended by a few inches then so be it :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigian 1,234 #4 Posted July 26, 2009 Anyone know how big this engine is? I have asked the seller but had no reply yet, an am still trawling through the interweb thingy trying to find out. The auction ends in just under 2 hours so I thought id better find out the sizes before I bid on the engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
