Great bit of film, showing high level of ingenuity. As a matter of interest Deutz Air Cooled engines are still available in 3,4,5,6 inline and 6,8,10 and 12 vee configurations.

I thought the V family was no longer being made. Would LOVE a 10 or a 12 for a somewhat less mail-box friendly prototype but I'm not in that price bracket at all based on what I've seen on the net :-)
Very nice ! Is that blower convereted to a combine type belt drive ? I have been wanting to make something for my skidsteer and not sure to use a belt or go with a 90 degree gear box
I modded the original gearbox with a lengthened through shaft that is supported on a bearing between the impeller and the gearbox and on another bearing behind everything that you can also see in the clip. This is a floating gearbox with its own bearings and as such it must NOT be attached or supported in any way! It is however prevented from
The big sprocket wheel you see in front of the rear shaft bearing is driven directly by the engine without a clutch. To make up for this there is a safety kill switch that instantly decouples the power actuating cylinder from the injection pump lever for a right-now shutdown. If you want to do belts I recommend the gates site where they have a simulator that you can input variables into and it will give answers.
Like the blurb says it's a Deutz-F4L912 4-jug air cooled diesel with legendary cold weather starting (no ether, no glowplugs). Also, what I think is one of the highest time engines in the world is one just like it on a generator somewhere in a Quebec national park with 55k hours on it (according to rumor in 2009). The air cooled 3 to 6 cylinder models are still in production but I think the really nice 8,10,12 cylinders are not. HTH.

Thanks, I'd like a v8 or the air cooled V-10 but they're not light in weight either :-(

that looks like a 400 belarus engine air cooled . correct me if i am wrong!
