I'm looking at fitting a Kubota d950 3 cylinder diesel engine in my wheel horse any ideas for the drive chain I'm thinking 90 degree gearbox with v belt pulley and shorter belt

If you were going to transplant that into a "D" it wouldn't be too big of a challenge. Finding a right angle drive unit for that horse power and connecting it to the Kubota engine sounds like an interesting project.

hi mate I have a couple of 90 degree gearboxes was thinking of mounting the gearbox direct to engine and use a shorter belt this would allow me to keep my drive gear the same and also keep my gears. I haven't started the project as yet as I have been real busy building loaders, however I can forwards pics of the tractor the gearbox I intend to use and also the engine

besides I like a challenge the loaders are far to easy now and only made two hiccups on first one that was getting angle of arms correct and in proportion to the tractor and also the bucket mounts and cylinders to get tip at low level aswell as high level completed that now to.

next project 4 wheeler hydraulic tipper trailer, rear mount log splitter, log grab for loader, and a d950 conversion.
