Started on the engine swap in my skid loader this weekend. Had to shorten the oil pan 3 to get the crank to be at the right hight. To keep the oil volume as close as possible I made it 4 wider. I used some off the stainless steel from that bulk tank I scrapped a while back.
Next was to make the motor mounts. That was more complex than I expected because I had to get out around the pan, then back under to get mounted to the base plate. It also had to bolt together so it could come off. So I started with a 3 x 1/4 angle on the motor and another under the pan. Then welded a smaller angle to the engine angle so it could bolt to the bottom angle, which is bolted to the base plate.
Here it is in the loader.
Next was the radiator. I originally thought it would go on the door, but that didn't work. And putting it right behind the motor wouldn't work because you would have to remove it to get to the oil filter and such. So I put it above the engine and behind the cab.
Also got the throttle and fuel shut off cables done. That's about where it's at now. Got the plumbing parts today and will work on that tonight. I have new gages too and will have to get them installed. Hope to have it running in a day or two.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
