introduction and pictures of my diesel convert

[morbus 0]

Small introduction my name is remko from holland (the netherlands)

I got 2 wheel horse C-101.

one for parts but i fixed it so easy that i use it for mowing and one witch had a Kohler water-pump engine in it and has a Robin diesel now.

With the old Kohler in it.

Old Kohler, almost broke my back getting it out.

Front PTO. Designed by a Dutch wheel horse dealer loozeman so you can attach all ferrari an BCS attachments. Tillers, flail mowers, etc.

used for the sickle bar

With the diesel

Things to do is fix the PTO.

Yes, Wheel Horse sold them in several European countries. We have at least 3 UK members and two from the Netherland and I think one from Germany. And the D-250 was designed and made in Europe (I cannot recall where at the moment).

Remco,

Great conversion - thanks for sharing the pictures.

So, what is next ?

HI...I TOO PUT A DIESEL IN MY 417-8 WHEEL HORSE. IT HAS WORKED OUT VERY GOOD. IT USES VERY LITTLE FUEL. I AM NOW PUTTING A SMALL (1000 CAP.) CRANE ON THE BACK. THIS TRACTOR IS MY PLAY TOY. (I HAVE 4 OTHERS) RUSS :omg:

:omg:

What size/hp is the diesel?

That front PTO setup for other equipment looks like a very good piece of engineering!

:omg:

Nice.

That engine looks like a DY41. 8.5 hp. If it is, you have essentially replicated what Wheel Horse did with the model 512D. Nice work!

I have the same engine in a little 5000W generator and really like it. It is very miserly on fuel and seems to start very easily in almost any weather condition.

Very loud though.

If anyone is interested in hearing a Robin DY41 run as an approximation to what a WH 512D or his tractor might sound like, click this:

D250 was made by Gutbroad which is a German made machine.

I'm not sure what type it is.

There are no label or other markings on the engine. But ik looks and sounds exact the same as in your movie clip.

It still amazes me how little fuel it uses in comparison to the Kohler. That is also the reason I did the conversion.

Ok it is loud and it bucks like a mule at low RPM. But there's nothing like the smell of diesel in the morning.

This winter is started it at -10 by hand. No problems. One pull and it runs.

next thing i am thinking of is running bio-diesel or some other kind of oil.

Will make the hand starting harder i think.

Thanks for all the comments.

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but very nice conversion. Looks like the same engine on the 512-D. Am I correct?
