Nothing to worry about there's no fluids in the engine when they give it to you when it's upside down so your good there

[@thewobblywelder8362]

Sweet! Doing the same conversion on almost exactly the same tiller! And if that works out slick enough I’m gonna attempt do a horizontal to vertical drive conversion to mount on a push mower. Like you I’m sick of dickering around with bad fuel and carburetors when I need to get the job done. I’m also hoping to run on used vegetable oil eventually. If I get to feeling spry enough I might even make a video about the whole thing. Thanks for your video!

[@HighOctane101]

No problem should be very cool to do other things with these engines

Find someone close to boarder in USA and they can hand it off to the Canada side.

[@sknerl]

@Craig I have an Etsy store. I can ship to Canada if you’d willing to pay a bit more for it. I’m gonna buy a couple more of these after getting one for my tiller. My Honda clones just aren’t this awesome. Also, I like the idea of storing fuel. Just be sure you get the right crank size. I screwed that up and it cost me a new pulley and subsequent mods. I won’t profit from it unnecessarily. I just think the Canada shipping thing is stupid. I usually sell vintage stuff I find at auctions and garage sales. Dm me your address and I can give you what actual shipping is based on dimensions and weight.

[@lorenray9479]

Better have flushed the shavings, frags scum, etc. Out before oil fill.

[@HighOctane101]

I did and then drained the oil out on ground and filled with new. I do this a couple of times and it’s still runs

[@_..-.._..-.._]

I have a pony as well, and just bought one of these engines. My tiller has reverse via the cam drive on the original Briggs, I guess reverse isn’t a big deal on a small tiller.

[@MrLandslide84]

This is sweet. Think it'll be my goto replacement on small stuff. I have a tiller waiting.

[@SamSamuylik]

Oh man. I just stumbled upon these on ebay. Now I really want to make a motorized bicycle with this diesel. Now I gotta compare shaft sizes and bolt patterns to see if it might work.👍

[@HighOctane101]

I believe the shaft size is metric but close to smaller than 5/8”

[@Miniaturehorseexpress]

It's the standard 5/8 keyed shaft like all Chinese small engines in the 2 to 6.5hp range

[@rob8761]

Far as I know these engines are just as good as the original engines they were cloned from

[@terrificspokesman7416]

Please post videos about it if you can

[@BuildBreakFix]

I have one already lol. 20mm shaft. Very low rpm on these going to need a special cvt or low rpm clutch that wont turn to dust with smaller sprockets. On a 32t sprocket 10t pinion 26inch tire your looking at a killer 23to25 mph build lol

[@deepsleep7822]

Looks like an excellent idea for a repower. Thanks for sharing.

[@unclejohn5012]

As long as you keep it well or overly maintained it'll probably pay itself off.

[@volvo09]

Nice, looks like it does great on that tiller.

[@EduardoJimenez-rk8nw]

And running on off-road diesel fuel ! 👍

[@kevinjohnson9372]

Issue is its got a flat head tecumseh with some kinda gear reduction box that bolts right to the block but has 2 shafts sticking out the one pulley us for reverse

[@HighOctane101]

Yeah I don’t have reverse anymore but did never use it

[@michaelbenoit248]

High Octane, we’ve got one w the ole Tecumseh on it w the 2 shafts. It’s my dads & he runs it abt every 5-10yrs or when he feels like gardening again. It runs ok, but a dsl is better cuz it’ll pop off 1st pull then sit for years, & not care at all. Also while using very little fuel at all.

[@Platano_macho]

Do you have a video of this motor idling??? I’m curious to hear a lengthy idle

[@HighOctane101]

I’ll see what I can do

[@CarsonNolt-wq7sx]

Thought about building a railcart and maybe this would be a good engine option.

[@dieselbossbrandon]

That's cool! Do that!!! I want to see it!

[@adamfletcher4262]

Much more fuel efficient than and petrol if it lasts should be a brilliant setup

[@HighOctane101]

Agree

[@adamfletcher4262]

How's it preforming ? How many hours roughly have you put on it ?

[@HighOctane101]

Only probably 10 hours, going to sit all winter we will see how she fires up for spring tiling

[@adamfletcher4262]

That's a fair few hours 👌

[@gghhdddffggg]

This thing in China just sold less than 60 dollars but it's more than 200$ in America 🤣

[@HighOctane101]

shipping = expensive

[@gregcrabb3497]

Thought about putting something like this on my dads old MTD tiller with carb trouble. Either this or switch to propane for a while.

[@HighOctane101]

So far this diesel woks great, to bad I did not have a snow blower to put it on. Just have to keep it warm in winter if I did that.

[@kevinjohnson9372]

I'm thinking about tossing one on an old tiller front tine

[@seanjuth]

Could you run vegetable oils as fuels in these small diesels?

[@HighOctane101]

I would love to try I bet it work

[@HighOctane101]

Yes it is going to be tilling with it soon

​@@HighOctane101you should do a start up video after sitting and do a full video on you using it in the field. That was people can see and hear it for a longer time. Idk why but people like that stuff. I'm currently installing one in a lawn tractor and a Ford ranger truck (farm/ranch truck)

If it is a direct drive wood chipper probably not, they usually have a heavier crankshaft for the weight of the cutting wheel

[@jasonmartin9393]

@@HighOctane101 it is it got a little 5 hp engine on it

[@michaelbenoit248]

These smaller diesels or at least the Yanmar L70s use 10w-30. Diesel oil & regular oil is the same. W something this small it doesn’t matter much. Edit: They seem to like the Rotella 15w-40 dsl oil better than regular 10w-30.

[@HighOctane101]

Yeah I figured it was only get used in the summer anyway

[@pl5624]

Torquey for 3hp

[@michaelbenoit248]

I has a gas equivalent of 5-7hp. My 6.4hp Yanmar L70 that’s equivalent to a 8-12hp gas. My jd212 might be getting another Yanmar L70 I’ve got sitting in the barn that needs a tank but has run before. My Sears st16 has a Yanmar L70 & she’s great!

[@kitecattestecke2303]

How are you supposed to change the fuel filter on that Diesel? It inside the tank :-/

[@HighOctane101]

Not sure

[@jericho86]

You probably aren't.

[@Andreschannel_SA]

I have a similar set up on my diesel generator. To replace the diesel filter, one needs to remove the diesel tank, undo 3 screws, and remove the filter from the bottom of the tank. I assume this setup will work in a similar fashion, but I'm not sure.

[@williamworth2746]

Why da ferk would they put the filter inside the tank

[@HighOctane101]

Probably just to screen out larger chunks maybe.

[@kazuza9]

Excellent idea

[@HighOctane101]

Thanks, it’s still running strong just tilled the garden couple of weeks ago

[@applepoop10]

Does it make more torque then the 212CC predator engine?

[@HighOctane101]

I would say so, this tiller had a 6.5hp gas that would bog down when going deep. The diesel goes deep without bogging

[@CarsonNolt-wq7sx]

I suppose they would have more torque than the equivalent gas engine.

[@landonhillyard]

Is there a pressurized oil output for possible tiny turbo?

[@HighOctane101]

I’ll have to check

According to the stats they are oil slinger style.. not pressure system for oil... Per Amazon information...

There’s no turbo on this lol I would trust a turbo on a low quality Diesel engine. It would run away and blow up easily lol

[@Platano_macho]

I also have a Troy bolt pony did this unit bolt right in? Do I need to purchase any special part’s?

[@HighOctane101]

It bolted up and I think I had to reem the pulley out a little. Think the shaft was a bit bigger than the old motor. Was not a big deal though

@@HighOctane101 thank you I’m going to run this engine until it dies then I’m going to pick up one of these

[@peterandmoniquekraemer9448]

Does your Pony tiller have the second pulley for reverse? Mine does, and the old Briggs engine on it has a second "auxiliary " shaft that turns the opposite direction for the reverse gear. I may just have to do without reverse.

[@HighOctane101]

It did but with this new diesel I don’t have reverse anymore
