I'm swapping a 459 into an old John Deere tractor. The only criticism I have is the charge circuit doesn't put a lot out. If you have led lights and run it enough it should be fine, but the winch on there will take a toll and it will take a while to charge back up.
Agreed. But you can take the flywheel off and bolt on a second magnet pickup. But for the money this motor is AWESOME !! Tons of power for little motor. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@1620GarageAndFarm No doubt it's a beast for the money, just the only potential catch with it. And yes you can add another coil but even then it's still pretty weak. Again, for many it's fine, but if you need constant electric power like my JD swap and the electric PTO it becomes a problem. Also a lot of the 420 parts don't fit. Exhaust is different and I don't think a 420 billet flywheel fits if you're looking to go that route. The black "drain" has a screen filter in it BTW. So you get filtered pressure lube in this engine.
I'm wondering what you did about the rubber engine mount by the drive pulley. I didn't see it in the video. I'm doing the same engine swap and I plan to fab one up to fit the 459 since it doesn't have the same mount points for it as the Honda clone. I'm worried that since the 459 has more power, it will twist the lower rubber mounts too much. That upper mount is there to prevent that pull from the pulley from twisting the mounts. Thanks. PS: Was your torque converter rusted on or did you forget the bolt in the shaft end?
Hi , the clutch was frozen on just old age. Shoot me your email and I will snap a coupe of pics showing the mount , I welded it & 90 degrees, no issues in 2 years now. I was using it today on my farm
I just did this same swap. Used the rubber mounts only. Removed the studs and drilled holes through the rubber. No movement at this time and no vibration.
@@1620GarageAndFarm lol I asked because I actually have a 20hp kohler I was thinking of using in it and a 16hp kubota water cooled diesel..thanks for reply good to know it does make difference I guess it will go till clutch explodes lol
@kodiakdynasty5074 if you go bigger , you may need a bigger rear end / gear box .. you may want to check this guy out .. he makes some amazing stuff for cross karts, and some really cool custom suspension for the after person to fab up ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dqRmxrrj92A.htmlsi=PHvpOixvtM2hiojs
Hello, I’m halfway through my project and every time I try to use electric start my motor make the same noise yours did? Any helpful tips on where you fixed your ground?
@@donnieharmon7100 let me know if you don’t find the issue. I can give you a run down on my wiring . I have had a few people ask. I may do a video on it.
