extra turbo laying around, john deere has more power

[zkdiesel]

well that project I dragged home has gotten its first bits of work, but turbo has to be high on the priority list
oil feed and oil return plumbed, know where I am stealing coolant in and out, but had to order different angle AN fitting today to make it look nicer
styling the air box after an old 140 HD kit, but need to cut 2" out of filter housing once new shorter filter appears
starts and runs!
need to cut and turn the turbo outlet 180* tmrw am at work with the nice tig

now to figure out turbo to intake plumbing and a stack setup
want something nice and looks right

 

[Strouty]

That thing looks like a pasquali, cool, missed the original thread. Turbo option will make for an interesting ride. What are your plans for it?

 

[Chateau Slate 66]

Should see if a mod could move this thread to the Fab section.

Given that tractor engines usually run at relatively low RPMs, is there really going to be much of a power increase from a turbo? Or is the turbo going to give a torque increase even at those revs? Just curious.

Lots of tractors come turbocharged. I may be mistaken, but I think the only difference between our MF 1100 and the 1135 was the addition of a turbo. Back in high school one of our projects was swapping the crank from a Ford 9700 into an 8700 as prep for a turbo refit. Then again... High school was a while ago so maybe I'm a bit confused on the Ford. At any rate, the project wasn't completed as someone lost the five gallon bucket full of bolted we used as storage during the teardown.

Who cares, that is just cool.

Just looked up the JD 400 and it's a 2 stroke garden tractor??? That you seem to have modified to articulate???? Very, very cool. With or without the turbo!

 

[NUTTSGT]

I must have missed the thread also when this little thing came home. I'm actually curious about this tractor, looks like it articulates in the center, what was the purpose of this JD400.

 

[zkdiesel]

Engine is currently a 2 cyl 4K revving kubota diesel!

 

[ADSR]

LOL, you going to add a intercooler to keep the cyl temps down?

I smell a O-ringed cylinder head very soon. I would waste gate it at 5psi for now.

I'd have to agree. That Kubota is 21.5:1 compression ratio. They like to crack heads in stock form.
That said, I love what you're doing.

 

[bonneyman]

Who cares, that is just cool.

Shoot yeah, this is making me think of something similar for my B&S lawn mower. Might help plow through those 3 foot high weeds!

 

[zkdiesel]

Pretty much a toy with no real purpose other than maybe running a vibratory plow for our own use
5psi was plan for boost if it will make it
Have rpm adjusted and fuel screw backed out a bunch
Radiator is out of a civic

 

[zkdiesel]

Update pictures coming soon
Moked up intake plumbing using rubber hoses last night, and ordered the bends to weld it up, along with stack and intake riser
It's a shame I don't have a tight die for my jd bender, as my 5.5 radius just won't get it where I want
Turbo outlet is very neatly tucked between starter and oil return line pointing backwards in engine

 

[C_F]

This is great! I can't wait for the burnout pics.

 

[zkdiesel]

makes 4.5 psi loaded
made the kit nicer than most aftermarket kits one would buy for a car. even have the water cooling hooked up and the correct degree of tilt.
only thing left is raise airbox hat 24" with a piece of aluminum pipe
airbox after 4" removed from lid and box to make more appropriate sized and clear hood when opening. new filter to fit, even a finned one.

 

[zkdiesel]

does anyone think I need to support the turbo to the frame to keep from cracking the manifold?

 

[no704]

Looks like quite a bit of weight canrelivered there. Is the engine solid mounted?

 

[zkdiesel]

Yes, engine is solid mounted. Pretty easy to run a support from frame up to exhaust housing

 

[ADSR]

We need video of it running!!

 

[Farmall 1066]

How's it sound?
Used to tractor pull with a guy who'd turbo'ed an 830 Deere.
Damn turbo only whistled on the power strokes. Funny as hell to hear, but never ran well.

 

[zkdiesel]

Sounds good, have video but no where to upload
Only whistles when hooked to something, otherwise can't make tractor work hard enough driving

 

[mattygee]

Sounds good, have video but no where to upload

A YouTube video would be cool.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Yes, You tube if you have an account or you can open one.

 

[onemanarmy]

I'd support anything hanging off the engine, especially with the enigne being solid mounted. I bet that thing vibrates like crazy, and amplified exponentially when cantilevered off.

And yes, we need videos.

 

[zkdiesel]

Anybody wanna load an emailed video for me? U tube won't load it for me
Good news
Both front and rear axles have limited slip diffs

 

[cajunfirehawk]

Wont that hot exhaust pipe hurt the engine cover due to the excessive heat?
1) open a youtube account
2) upload video to youtube
3) when done just post the link in your post, we can click the link and view from that...
Size of that file will be hard to email if its a long video say a minute or more, IMHO

Hold my beer.....watch this!

Awesome

Does it make boost? That engine is small even compared to the smallest turbos you can buy.

Here is mine:

Yes, comes up 4-5lbs when heavily loaded and full pump

 

[lazer50]

Woo wee! What a cool machine! I used to use a Steiner quite a bit when i was a golf course super.man it was a workhorse! Older machine required regular welding lol.not nearly a new or nice as your deere! Keep us posted on updates.

 

[finn]

A support will probably add stress to the system because of the thermal loading "jack" effect.

Keep in unconstrained. The thermal jack is higher than the operational g loading.

What is a pasquali?

 

[duwem]

4x4 articulated tractor from over seas.

Have seen a couple around here.

 

[zkdiesel]

3 point hitch setup
also other upper and lower mounts is for the forklift box, and a jib boom

 

[zkdiesel]

looking more finished

 

[zkdiesel]

3 speed double od trans added

 

[383]

Looks like a fun project!!
