it's a glow plug, the manifold heater looks like a spring stretched over the intake port.

at my work we have a actual yanmar engine and I got to say it has lasted its worth. It is attached to a compressor that runs a trailer with tanks for oil/coolant changes at generator sites. It does burn oil but I blame that on the lack of maintenance of my co-workers.

The injection pressure on these little industrial diesels is not 25 psi as you stated, but usually around 100 bar, or close to 1500 psi!

have you ever thought of doing a mod on how to shut off the fuel electronically, so when you turn off the key the engine shuts off?

I just got mine put in my tractor, which weighs around 1500 pounds and it pulls it awesome!!! Tons of power I love it! I will post a video or two

This is gonna be the coolest build ever cant wait!

thats the same kinda engine i want to put in my 73 sears nice choice

It doesn't exist on eBay!!

is it weird that i was getting excited like a kid on christmas watching you unbox the motor lol

Yeah, Diesels don't have any spark plug or butterfly valve for the intake because the high compression causes the air to get hot enough to combust when fuel gets injected, and that high compression actually makes them more efficient than gas engines. In trucks and such with diesels, it's an electronic shutoff solenoid (like on newer briggs and kohler engines) that shuts off the engine, but in this case it's the throttle, which is a fuel valve in itself.

sweet engine can't wait to see it up and running

I can't wait to see the rest of the vids for this engine

I have one of those too, currently mounted in a Bolens. It is a clone of the Yanmar L100. You stop it by closing the fuel rack (which you are calling the throttle, and does in fact perform the same function as the throttle on a gasoline engine). I have a few videos of mine running, powering an alternator and other stuff. I need to upload some more videos of it. Keep us posted as to how well yours works out!

Badass. I can't wait to see it running

cant wait to see the next romp :D with the Toro and the Murray , i hope you bring every one like last time.

mine still runs good after four years, a launtop same as yours. how has yours held up?

good to hear man, we figured out an easy way to kill it. and yea, you definitely need the compression release to pull start it!

My friend has a yanmar clone on his old sears but he added a turbo man is it grouchy pulls like a tank

Pretty good deal IMO looking foward to seeing it run and hear your opinion if it’s a decent Clone of any Yanmar you should be good

same as mine I love it it has so much power and fuel economy is really good to it sounds awesome to.

for the shut off it either is on the throttle or it can have its own lever to shut the engine down so if you want to you can make a separate shutoff lever and Trisian102100 is right it builds up a lot of compression to make the fuel explode in the cylinder which makes the engine run

Does any one know roughly how many revolutions per minute the crankshaft does on tick over? Trying to work out if it’s worth using one of these for a project. And dont want to run it at full pelt constantly.

Hey fearless you really need to run a diesel additive in that, it helps with all diesels more so on small ones, it'll clean your injectors and give it more power and make it start easier!

the sears is looking awesome great build!!!!!

Thank you for sharing. Nice engine!

7years later....how fif that little diesel work out? I am looking at purchasing a similar one.

That's one sick motor can't wait to see it the sears

i have the same sears tractor haven't done an enging swap yet but was wondering why you dint go with the 13hp diesel an went with the 10 thiers not much difference in price I seen the videos it looks plenty strong enough.. this will help me with my build .. keep the videos coming !!

A diesel lawn mower? Now that's cool!

dear fearless front, i am going to be building an racing mower soon and i just wanted to say i am a huge fan, do you have any idea what kind of engine i can put in it that pretty cheap but still has power and speed?

great Videos, could you share the link to purchase this engine..thanks

Man love the video I’m just curious where do I get the one with the starter also? I can’t seem to find it

Diesel engines don't use spark plugs. They use compression to cause the fuel to explode in the cylinder.

Where you've bought it? Can you give me the link for buy the engine I would like to build a little tractor like your

if u put that switch in stop does it stop the injector pump.

I have that engine! Bought it for my mini loader, and now I need to do all Electric connections. But I did not get any extra cables or key switch! So where can i by that cables? We do not have EBay in Sweden! Thanks!!

Awesome can't wait to see it done

Hmmm i wonder if its got a silenoid that works off the switch to shut fuel off or you gonna haveta make a Manuel one

do these motors have some sort of charging system built into them to charge up the battery?

cant wait to see it run.

When I gather some money I want to put that in a simplicity or Sears, primarily a Sears, I looked all over eBay and didn't find it. Could you tell me were you bought it, thank you.

why did you mention no spark plug ? since when diesel using a spark plug ?

Sweet, Could you do me a favor, could you pull the recall cover off I need to get a look at the flywheel I plan on putting one of those engines in my Craftman GT6000, as you probably know the drivers of the flywheel side of the engine. Thanks

I have two of these two of these engines. The one on my woodsplitter is going on to it's 7th year now for my firewood business. It runs 7 to 8 hours a day 5 days a week with no problems. The other on I found in Uncle Henry's for dirt cheap, because the guy didn't know how to start it. He never primed the injector so it wasn't able to pick up the fuel. I got it home and it fired up on the fourth pull so now it is running my wood conveyor.

I am Very excited to see this build

Can't wait for more vid's of this and the sears.

i am thinking of using one on a small band-saw mill .do you like your engine use it a lot ?thanks God less now to find one for sale

I got a case 1816 b with a 18 horse twin I’m thinking about repowering it with one of these

would look cool if you did a Weather flap for upright exhaust if your going to run is strait up.

Wow! This engine look like good !

I use radiator hose to connect the exhaust when using stacks so if I roll it, I don't crack the casting

i just noticed you got your PO box up..cool deal! Your comment on livevideo, I do plan on making a trip up there, i figure id really like to make one of those jamborees..but i need to get a mower ready..but, if MK, RNCG , LPM, and yourself, we would have fleet to ride..

I looked on eBay for that engine and I can't find it?

Note to Todd... How to open a big, heavy package. While sealed, turn it upside down. Open the bottom, fold back the flaps. Roll the box right side up and lift the box off the contents.

Where did you buy it from and how long did it take to get to you

Depends. If it's run away by sucking oil around rings, valve seals, PCV valve or a blown turbo seal you can rip the pump off and it won't stop, unless you cut the air, it runs out of oil, or blows.

What kind of shafts on it I just got the same diesel motor on Facebook

Awesome, something I've been waiting to do for a long time is get a diesel motor for a tractor build. Pretty cheap to for a diesel.

THANK YOU VERY KIND PERSON! you are much appreciated by me for being on my side!

looks like a good motor, great deal man cheers

I know this is a 10 year old video, but what're the chances you have any info on the glow plug? I have one of these engines now but without a glow plug. Seems like I can't find any info on a glow plug that small.

Was that from newdyne? Thanks

For what can you use these engines?

That is definitely an intake heater, not a glow plug. It's sticking into the intake plenum (which isn't even part of the head), while a glow plug would have to extend into the combustion chamber.

Cool motor! I spy the old Murray tires and what looks to be the Pearless transmission from the Murray... What happened? Did you just swap the tires?

Nice. You're correct that to kill a diesel you kill the fuel supply. In a lot of older trucks you can turn the key off and pull it out and it'll keep running until you pull out the kill lever. (Like my Mog, and the older Internationals we use at work) Can't wait to see it in the Sears.

Did I see the old Murray tires in the back ground?

Looks awesome. Something I've wondered, do you need to stabilize diesel? Like are they putting ethanol in it? My guess is no but I'm not sure. That thing will be sweet!!!

hey i was wondering if you were selling your tires for the sears the old back tires and uhmm can freakin wait for the tractor to be done im in the middle of rebuilding my racing mower any ideas for good exhaust i would love for it to sound like your murray

What is the part number on the starter motor?

How has then engine held up over the years? An do you have a model # - Thanks!

They no longer have them on ebay from a quick search

Anyway to make these bad boys quieter?

ah I want to know what you put on you need to make a update for it now

We're did you get your motor from cause I can't find them for $600

Will that fit on a mini bike?

do you know how much compression these things create? with more compression equals more suction. i will give you a hint: the compression in the combustion chamber on a diesel engine replaces the spark plug on a gas engine.

does that have a pcv valve of any sort.

Cool you should do an exhaust like the lifted mower but as a dual exhaust

Yes, you did! Surprise! Lol this video is filled with hidden Easter eggs!

Where did you buy it? cheapest i cant find them now is $800.

What, the Pontiac Fiero?

Hey It’s been awhile how did the engine work out. It looks good for a clone.

Where did you buy this diesel engine

Of course it doesn't have a spark plug, it's a diesel. To stop it you put a solenoid valve in the fuel line, activated by the ignition switch. Then when you turn the ignition off it shuts of the fuel. As there is no carburettor, i.e. fuel reservoir in the form of a float bowl, the shut-off is immediate.

You should gear it really low and be able to plow with it in the winter but still be able to mud it during the summer, the diesel will have alot of torque to plow with and will probably be funner then the snow blower. But it does need one thing...a turbo:D

finaly a new vid

Well played Fearless, well played. B-)

make sure you check all the bolts, they tend to be lazy at the factory and some may be under torqued

Slightly more than 25 psi, more like 1500-2000 psi.

you got that right!

WOW nice!!!!!! No high end but loads of low end power .... Loads of low end power yaaaaaa baby..... I'm so excited for ya

About how fast will go with that engine

yeah if it does either stuff a lot grease rages in it or a welding glove or hold a piece of wood over the end of it

just bought a little tractor with a 8hp briggs and stratton engine. do you this that that isnt enough power for off road ? i also have a Honda 13 hp im working on which runs a treat. Thanks

NIIIIIICCCCCCCEEEEEE. That is an awesome machine. Many thanks for sharing. I like a lot.

cool looks like it will be a good motor for what you are doing.

It shuts off by cutting the fuel when you move the throttle past the idle point. Stacks are going to be sick! You need to do a large straight pipe with a rain flapper!

Can't wait

How can I use this to power a boat?
