Nice, Jonathan...and funny, because I'm also working on a skid steer rehab for our farm. I got an old Case, from which the original crappy (notoriously bad) engine had been removed. I got it for $2000. And I bought a John Deere commercial greens (reel) mower for $400, from which I pulled the good diesel engine. I just dropped the diesel in the Case and need to weld up motor mounts, then I should be in business. Good luck with your project! I'll follow along.
