I have a three cylinder diesel in my 550 Ford backhoe. When I bought it, it had who knows how many thousand hours on it. I rebuilt it and did a couple of things to it to add a little more power. I think it was rated at 60 HP. It amazes me how little fuel it uses. It lugs really good too. I only run it around 1200 to 1300 RPM. It could still use a little more power for loader work. I load in first gear while my boss's 310 can load in 2nd gear. I think you will like that engine. It's a bear to get started if you run out of fuel. Make sure that never happens! You will have to add heat to start it in the winter. Mine might start better if I put in New injectors. I had to have the pump rebuilt too. Changing the starter is a bear too. Mine doesn't use a drop of oil at 600 hrs. oil change.
