We live in a land of extremes here spongie.

Indeed we do Mick... We take gearboxes out with tractors!! :D

Lots if space for something bigger tho!!!! :)

My old series had the engine taken out with a massey Telehandler

Here's another vid of Nicks truck.. The 101 should have a nice 'in cab' note to it!! :D

Yep sounds like a tractor engine:o

Yeah... Think you have to be a diesel nut to love it... I have grown to love the V8 burble the past few weeks but sat running on the workshop floor with no muffler, the Cummins does sound awesome!!!! :D

Could just be the perspective of the photo, but I'm damn sure I had a pedal tractor bigger than that when I were a 'youngun', not that I'm overly old now, but it was still 20 years ago...

I see where you're coming from with an engine change because it ran out of fuel.
I changed the V8 in my 110 for another one because the Dizzy packed up*
I also swopped the Diesel engine for another because it was easier than swopping the turbo in situ.

I have the itch to swop the Mazda for something bigger at the minute...

*I should add it went from a knackered carby 3.5 on a ropey LT77 for a half decent 4.2 efi on an autobox, just before someone suggests doing the dizzy would have been easier...
