cropsey, il 61731 | I got a deal on a pretty nice skid steer except that it has a pinto 4 cylinder engine in place of the original renault gas engine. It more or less runs ok, but a small diesel would have better torque and I wouldn't have to spin the engine as much. The original specs had the hp at 32hp and I'm sure the pinto engine has more (I can not confirm it's from a pinto or that it's a 2.3L - it's overhead cam, has a blue valve/cam cover that has ford stamped into it, and it's a flow through head). Since about everything has been rebuilt on the skid steer, I think I could make it really nice with a small diesel - any recommendations? something between 40 - 50hp.
thanks,
Pat | |
