What are your plans for it?
Sweet, you have my vote for being pardoned. Plus I plan on helping your counsel drink his fee!
Sounds like you all had a good time.

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Billy (and other slackers) It's a little single cylinder Kubota 0.3L diesel from a highway sign trailer, it had an alternator to charge the batteries. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2795855410080251109TcHgMjI want to find a little air compressor for it to have as a backup air source for my truck. Or it'll run an alternator to run an AC unit in the truck cap/camper on my 1 ton if I ever get a chance to build one.

Grigg | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,716 62401 | | 62401 Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,716 | The sleeper is air cooled.
The compressor looks like it's water cooled...

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Ideally I'll find an air cooled and self oiling compressor so I don't have to tap into the engine for that. They are available either from Bendix as a truck compressor or a small shop type air compressor.
Sleeper, I have the perfect truck for it right here in my garage. A similar green GMC to what it came from, it'll be a really sweet truck.

That would make a great motor for a countertop blender... the new wife might not be happy with the smoke though.
