I know you probably heard this a thousand times but God man I wish I could have grew up with a dad like you. Great natural teacher. I appreciate the work and the time that you put into this video.
Very nice, great job there, so good to see the little guy so involved, he will always remember those times, don't forget to give us a follow up on this truck
I worked for a company that does small fabrications, we did alot of power steering rack conversions for old muscle cars. There guys would bring us there prototypes and we would refine them and pretty them up for there kits. This would be a great conversion kit for you and them. They have full machine shop and high power laser cutter as well as pressbrakes . Love to see guys tinkering and kids doing stuff other than video games. People way underestimate kids abilities. plenty of these motors about.
This is more than a truck. This machine is being built by a real man. Think, he has his son, by his side, learning the very best of what it is to be genius. There really are 2 types of people put there. Those who turn away, and those who go that distance. The globe of young men would benefit to witness this video, for not just this cool truck, but to have an example of healthy masculinity.
Weeell I don’t know about all that. I’m just trying to prepare him for life and be able to do for himself. But thank you very much for the very nice comment. Good luck!
Great Father/Son project. Hats off to you guys for trying it. Ive always wanted to put a small 3 cylinder Yanmar or Kubota in one of those 4x4 Japanese mini trucks. They've got 660cc 3 cylinder gas engines in them and they run fine with that but c'mon...a diesel would be way cooler. Mini trucks look a little goofy at first but if you lift them a few inches and put some lights etc on them..man they can be pretty sweet. Road legal in Canada too. Dont think so in the in the States though. Anyway, great video. Cheers from Windsor Ontario Canada.
Father and mini me at work there lol Well done boys! Just vectored into this tractor motor to truck swap. I'm sure it's been going on for years, but good idea for sure. Keep up the good wrenching!
I really enjoy doing this stuff with my son . It’s real gift from god. We just pulled VW 1.9l tdi to reporter this same truck. I’ll have get the video out. Thanks
hell yeah brother , im from canada ... looking forward to more of your videos i subscribed...., ive just recently done a 4wd conversion myself in my 1986 dodge ram
The street legal tractor. Most of these old diesels before 1994 are pretty slow, the Cummins had the P-Pump & ford Turboed the idi in 1993-1994 as a factory option. Got a 1993 NA & she loves my diluted waste engine oil, it’s a little most sooty, but she loves it. It’s a summer fuel only tho cuz it’s so thick even after 10-25% gas dilution, & ventilation.
I used the stock ranger 3.0l clutch , the kubota flywheel but milled off the step and the Ranger bell housing. You might consider a VW tdi there good kits available. I’m considering that myself. Good luck.
I can't believe how that adapter plate came out with only a drill press and grinder. What would you be producing if you had a machine shop? You know Stevie is going to want to drive it as soon as he gets his license?
Well thanks but I think I might have got a little lucky and Stevie already drive it and many other thing around our property and does a pretty good job!
Thank you for the great video. I am doing a v2203 swap into my Willy’s. I want to use serpentine belt system. What serpentine pulley did you use on the water pump? Did you require any modifications for the harmonic balancer to fit to the crank?
I used the ranger pulley for the water pump I had to lengthen it with a piece of pipe and re drill the holes . The harmonic balance was a little tight , but no modifications needed.
Personally I rather enjoyed your choice of tunes, can't go wrong with southern rock, accompanied by excellent Blues in my opinion. So that leads me to have to ask you how the little engine that could turned out? Being a firm believer in dinosaur juice, with a slight increase off just a few cubic inches. 2003 F250 XLT 7.3, closing in on 400,000 unmolested miles with hardly any repairs of major components. HIPO, few sensors hi pressure oil line from hips to passenger head. Cam sensor on recall, water pump, 2 power steering hydrostatic booster pumps, radiator, heater core, 6 sets cooper at tires, 1 set of shocks, 1 set front pads, couple headlight changes, too dam many batteries, and FoMoCo glow plugs w/ wiring harness valve cover gaskets. Not too mention bout half million gallons of dinosaurs juice consisting of 15/45 T4 Rotella, with salsa verdie pumped regularly average 18.9 mpg. She ain't no 1000 lb torque monster, but then she's been paid for longer than the new ones will ever live even with heart transplants every 4 to 5 years.lol You do very nice planning, and prep work, very impressive, but have you made a point of discussing that aspect of being most important part of anything one does other than getting a glass of water. Otherwise one will constantly be chasing one's own tail round in a redundant circle that never ends. Firm believer in the 6 P's myself, and works great if you work it, but can't be upset if you don't.
What did you have to do for the fuel tank? I read that the regular gas ones are galvanized and the diesel ones need to not be galvanized? Did you have to change the fuel lines?
I used the stock ranger 3.0l 5 spd trans I won’t pretend to remember the model number but I believe it would be easy to find. If you do it used the better / later model kubota DI engine . Good luck
good dad. if a kid shows an interest & aptitude (never force them) they can make some good $ & have fun working on cars too. p.s. important to give em praise when he does good job
@@generalprinciple5921 maybe mentor kids that need father figure to work on cars etc.... you seem to have patience / understanding for it. can be very rewarding. If young guys need to get out of their fam house theres an option called #vanlife ...check it out on youtube vids. can help a lot ppl by building vans to live in ;)
Kubota Engine Will last 1 to 2 million miles Or over 100 000 hours. That is the key advantage vs other gas or diesel engines. Simple and works over time. Great job.
If I delete power brakes, delete power steering and delete Ac it would be an easier swap if I just buy the adapter plate + make my own engine mounts. Is that a good idea ?
Weeeell I’m sorry but was a one off hand built adapter. Many many hours in it. I’m not making them to sell but there are some out there for sale. Good luck!
I've got a 77 lincoln town coup that needs a diesel conversion the gas 460 is so expensive to run car has sat for years awaiting a good choice ironblock diesel setup and shop to do it.needs a bus engine installed in it.
skyraiderjet man I had to just figure it out as I went. Sorry I can’t be more definitive, but it’s really just mounting it however you have to for your particular set up.
General Principle Oh and how did you purge the fuel tank and lines of gasoline so that there’s no gas and diesel mixing? And you said you used the stock motor mounts, did you modify them or rearrange them?
I kinda wish but this is what I had on hand and it’s not doing to bad except maybe could do a little better on mileage. Doing 30 mpg all the time. When time permits might do a VW tdi swap.
@@generalprinciple5921 no, meant 3 cylinder items of ~ 20 hp. The 2203 is about twice that powerful when normally aspirated, as well as having much more displacement compared to, say, a 722 or 903.
Man, quit lying, you build Swiss family Robinson style tree houses with full-on patios in your sleep 😂😅😂 You wake up to your family asking if you had been on the Ambien again... You walk out to the front yard and see a 60 ft tall 3 mile long roller coaster.... 😂😅😂😅
want more power make a water bubbler mix 20 to 30% alcohol or methanol the rest water , watch it come alive i made one for my M/B 300SD wow climbing hills was fun and had to back off on the accelerator pedal to stay around the speed limit of 65 , getting to 80 90 mph was a piece of cake , you can also add a propane system but more expensive , if you need to know how to make the bubbler system let me know
Do yourself a favor, swap out your vacuum break booster for a Hydro-boost unit! have a look at this boost controller, I had one on my Diesel Volkswagen, www.boostvalve.com/catalog.html
@@generalprinciple5921 - that's because your injection is timed for normal aspiration. Lift the idle by 100rpm and back th timing off a half degree at a time until it smooths out, then add a half degree back.

Thank you but not so little anymore.
hands down to you my man for having this kid doing something productive and not being playing stupid video games
Thanks. he’s awesome and way more intelligent than I was at his age! Probably from his mother.

Awesome build bud
Elijah Jenkins thanks. That’s very kind! He’s a quick learner.
Wow super cool really got the gears turning in my head and the little Gearhead looked like he'd been doing that for years.
Thanks. Planning VW tdi swap for it next but the little Kubota,s been good though.
great that you include you son. Kids today seem to not know much of anything related to mechanical.

I agree I love my music and try to plan out my work. The little motor turned out pretty good doesn’t have a ton of power but hey it not that bad
Do a video where you take it to wal mart for an oil and filter change. Lmao ask them if they have plugs for it..
That might just screw ME up..
What did you have to do for the fuel tank? I read that the regular gas ones are galvanized and the diesel ones need to not be galvanized? Did you have to change the fuel lines?
No sir I used that stock plastic tank. I’ve working on lots of trucks and tanks themselves are always the same. It’s the pumps that can be different.
what clutch and flywheel did you use?
Dylan's Outdoors TV I used the stock kubota flywheel with the step cut off and the stock ranger clutch
My only question is what transmission did you pair it with?,I've been wanting to do a swap and this seems to be the most inexpensive route

Boost alone will not give you more power - you have to turn up the injector pump.
Yes. Thanks we’ve turn up the fuel and rpm. Thx.
Would you ever do this again?
Yes. But I’d use a direct injection motor or VW 1.9tdi but I’m not disappointed with what I’ve got.

80 rung out with the gears that I have now

Do yourself a favor, swap out your vacuum break booster for a Hydro-boost unit! have a look at this boost controller, I had one on my Diesel Volkswagen, www.boostvalve.com/catalog.html
Adding boost without adding fuel is pointless, unless it's already running rich.
I understand and I’ve added some fuel very little though. It runs quiet a bit hard with boost.
@@generalprinciple5921 - that's because your injection is timed for normal aspiration. Lift the idle by 100rpm and back th timing off a half degree at a time until it smooths out, then add a half degree back.
