    I just bought a gehl 2600 off a guy for $200. He said the original 25hp Onan gas job was running like crap and he just wants it off his property. Its in good shape, needs a little TLC, but my idea was to throw this engine in there and just use its around the farm here and there. Problem is, you made it look way too easy lol. Looks like im going to attempt it now.

      Thought about it, figured since the original motor did not have them it might be over kill or there was a concern about them tearing lose, not sure. Vibrations are fairly low considering it is mounted solid.

    I made a comment a week ago, and then the bottle jack failed. It has barely been used, but when pumping the handle, the piston would raise and lower in rhythm with the jacking action, so the relief valve was not seating. I took the jack apart to clean, and the oil was very contaminated. It has barely been used. After a cleaning and fresh oil, it is working again. Unscrewing the center tubing took a 3 foot long pipe wrench plus a 3 foot pipe extension, and a lot of force. I also had to re-anchor the bench vice.

      Prior to alternators charging batteries, generators charged our auto/farm equipment batteries. Alternators generate A/C voltage and are converted to D/C. Generators create D/C current with out the need for converting, but are very inefficient.
