I appreciate that. Thanks

can we get an update on this build Matt?

I tell ya man it is a really fun little motor for these old jeeps. Since I put up this video I swapped both axles for Dana 44s that I narrowed. Using 4.56 gears now. That was fun for a few months before something came apart in my transfer case. Now I am almost ready to put in a t98 transmission and d18 with terra low 3:1 low range. Lots of good times and hopefully a new you tube video in the near future.

@@mattbranstetter4072 hmm I was hoping on using everything stock on crusty that's its name but do you think it has too much power or if I fix everything up it should be ok also if you want to see pictures of it my Instagram is jeeps_are_a_drug

@@oreokingjr6965 I don't think it has too much power for the stock equipment. My axles and transmission were just in poor shape from neglect by previous owners.

@@mattbranstetter4072 another question is how are steep hills and highways

@@oreokingjr6965 flat crusing on the highway is comfortable around 63 mph in OD with a max speed of about 71. It slows for hills and grades and I shift out of OD to keep my EGTs to an acceptable level.

Hey thanks! You know what I wish this thing would idle that low but its really gets a nasty lope and gets bogged by the alternator load. Happiest at 1200rpm for all around smooth idle. Do you have experience with the v2203? I'd be interested to hear suggestions

@@mattbranstetter4072 Hi! No i have no experience with the Kubota diesel but i like to watch diesel conversions in Jeeps. I once swapped a Mercedes om616 240d in a CJ-5 Back in the days. I used the 4speed Mercedes gearbox from a Mercedes transporter and made an adapter plate to mate it to the jeep teansferbox. It still works great and the jeep is fun. I run it on 31-10.5-15 tyres and 4.09:1 axle ratio. I couldn't go bigger on tyres as the rpm would drop too much. Mercedes diesels are quite revving and they don't like to be lugged. I have 3000 rpm at 62.5 mi/h- 100km/h. Which is fine. I like the way that my mecedes idles so nice and so when i heard your Kubota i thougt it would maybe idle that nice with lowering the rmp. But as you told now it will not. I tweaked around a bit with the idle setting on mine. On some rpm everything would start to rattle in the car so i tweeked it to find the sweet spot. I like that the kuboto has a turbo. Gives you loads of torque👍 Your Jeep is Great!

rowdy hansen 4bt’s are too heavy imo. I know plenty of people do it, but thats a good 1,500lbs. Id go with a mercedes diesel from mercedesdiesel4x4.com or a volkswagen 1.9tdi.

Good to know. That would be a good setup!

@@mattbranstetter4072 Second Engine and Transmission plenty available the second market India. If it is possible to import to your country as Automobile scrap then fitted to any old generation jeep clones.Spares plenty available in India for further years. we have used old second diesel Engine BMC B series diesel to the Ambassador car before Hindustan Motors make BMC type engine before 1980 . Second engine is removed from Morris Oxford and Austin cabridge cars from other foreign countries.It was made Morris as on 1963- 1967 period for their factory fitted cars

Clutch housing directy fitted old type transmission either three or Four speed front

Overland diesel

If you mean the governor spring, yes. I have been using that spring for 5 years now. I also have turned the fuel up an unknown amount of turns since then. If you haven't adjusted the fuel that may be your limiting factor. I pretty much tuned the added fuel by watching the EGT gauge and trial and error. I need to make an updated video. I just finished my air to water Intercooler and I have built dana 44s with 4.56 gears. I can cruise comfortably at 65mph in OD. If turning the fuel up doesn't help or EGTS are objectionable I would be interested to hear exactly what application your motor came from and what the timing spec is. Timing can make a huge difference.

@@mattbranstetter4072 good info man thank you. My motor came from a carrier refer unit. I have not done a thing to it other than putting it in the jeep. This is my first diesel and it’s a far cry from the sbc’s I grew up working on so I’m learning as I go. Thanks for the info.

31"x9.5" tires and no lift 👍

What brand tires? Thanks!

I can give you the part number. Donaldson PSD080056. Good luck!

I say around $5k

@@mattbranstetter4072 Thanks,

Phyllis Radford thanks! I bought the "wait" light on eBay. It is from a HMMWV.

Those glow plugs are still being used.

@@mattbranstetter4072 yep it sure is. I recognize that lol

Kubota. De tractor japones

Brian Buswell hack is wrong word that was some fine metal work

Overland diesel

Never noticed lag while offroad. The gearing does all the work.

Average stays right around 35 mpg

By using Mahindra DI turbo diesel engine from India with Five Transmision four wheem you have got 15km/liter diesel.Its spares are cheap and easily available from India.OE Mahindra parts and identical parts are available through India.

On the freeway I am cruising at 62 mph pretty comfortably. Max speed is about 70.

Thanks

Since making this video I have changed turbos and added air to water intercooling. I think I'm around 90 to a 100 horse and thinking torque should be around 200 ft/lbs

Interco super swamper tsl. 31x9.5

In 15 rim?

@@joseblanco9740 yes

Hopefully have some good updates to share by the end of the year. Preparing to put a 4spd transmission and new t case in soon.

I would also like to know

Me too

I’m guessing 4-6k with engine and accessories if you do all the work....

MrBigKRob I'm using the original T90/D18 transmission and transfer case. Should be around 70 hp.

Karam Singh yes, I believe you can.

David Wilson Since posting this video I have swapped axles and now have 4.56 gears. I have had it up to 68mph at about 2500 rpm.

That's awesome! I'm assuming that's with the overdrive.

David Wilson yes, t90a transmission and 25% OD mated to the the d18 transfer case

I wonder what the fuel economy is like at 1500rpm.

Jake Palmer I used a kubota factory oil pan from a different application. I think it was for a bobcat. parts-barn.com/index.php/02-03-new-oil-pan-with-out-plugs.html

Matt Branstetter thanks im really excited to do this i have a 67 cj5 that im going to do this to just getting everything around

Jake Palmer my dad put a Mercedes 3.0l turbo in his 73 cj5. It is a great swap! These little keeps need diesel power

31" 9.5" r15

Rick Bandstra thanks, 34-36 mpg.

@@mattbranstetter4072 Awesome

Stock willy's

@@mattbranstetter4072 Adapter ??

@@xmo552 yep, from overland diesel

@@mattbranstetter4072 That's a great conversion you did. I love everything about it.

Today it is sitting in the garage waiting for a T98a transmission and new t case with terra low gears. Should have it back on the road pretty soon I hope!

that is going to be a nice set up and upgrade

I'm sorry, but something is lost in translation here. I'd like to help if you can rephrase the question.

What an astute observation....

Depends on which side of the Mississippi you are on.
