S2E22 First start of the Kubota D722 diesel that we are going to use for our Saturn engine swap. 

I didn't notice anything off on the audio - hope your issues clear up soon!

"And we can make something worse for a LOT less money!" Thrift backyard knuckle busters unite in laughter! 😅

I have visualised my imagination so clearly and so consistently that it has manifested itself into my reality.

May joy and happiness accompany you throughout day and night! Wishing you a very nice Thursday!

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

This channel offers the best answer to the questions: “Why the heck are you doing this?” and “Don’t you know XYZ would make more sense if you wanted to accomplish ABC?” That most astute of answers is: “Huh?” Thanks Jimbo and Co. for doing this crazy stuff. It’s so much fun to see what’s possible with a little FleaBay, a little Jungle Store, a little Hazard Fraught, and a lot of mad scientist energy - especially when the goal isn’t to see what’s possible, or if you can pull it off, but rather just to see it come together.

The tiniest dream that you make happen is worth more than the biggest dream that you never attempt.

Best show on RU-vid!

You are an amazing creator and I hope that you are able to find ways to improve you’re life with you’re hearing loss. I hope you see this comment because you’re RU-vid channel has helped to reaffirm my love for tinkering with engines. You are an amazing creator and I wish the best for you. I hope you have the time to read this because you have had a huge impact on my life, and I hope that my message can impact you even if it is in the smallest of ways. Keep doing what you are doing because I know I’m not the only person that has had their eye’s reopened to the wonders of mechanics. Thank you, RobotCantina.

You're gonna need a 13 speed dual countershaft transmission to get that Saturn up to speed

I didn't see a fuel filter... PSA: No filters even for test running is not so good on a diesel, with the small tolerances of the magical parts inside the injection pump and injectors. Your local diesel pump shop will love you. 😄 Man that engine starts and runs well! Crazy the amount of work 20 hp and less than 100 ft lb of torque actually can do. I spent a lot of years helping on a farm and learned Diesels through the school of hard knocks. Jimbo, you seem to have a handle on things so enjoy your journey and thank you for sharing with us!

This tiny engine has no business sounding this good

Today is the start of something beautiful in your life. Embrace it and walk with the pride of success in the day.

“If you talk about it, it’s a dream, if you envision it, it’s possible, but if you schedule it, it’s real.”

5 speed Turbo diesel Saturn? Now that sounds efficient

"It's finally Friday, I'm free again. I got my motor running for a wild weekend."

“It’s a funny thing about life, once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.”

If you find that you need a lower gear ratio for 5th gear it is an easy swap to replace 5th gear from a single cam trans. Single cam 5th gear will lower rpms at same speed. The cover on the end of the trans houses 5th gear and is a quick swap. I have done this to gain better mpg in the past. Just be sure to replace the set of gears on both shafts and use the syncros on the single cam gear set. Basically just swap everything inside the end housing. The sound is fine and wish you a speedy recovery.

Audio sounds fine, hope you get better soon. Really enjoy your videos

Don’t just count your blessings. Be the blessing other people count on😇😇😇😇😇

Hearing, which, by the motion of the air, informs us of the motion of sounding or vibrating bodies.

my eyes got misty when that little motor started up .... brings back memories of starting up reefer motors on cold nights at meat plants in Kansas

Can't wait to see a turbo on this little D722!

As a european, I enjoy so much the experiments with diesel😅 Good video 👍🏻

A quick correction: not all diesels are direct injection. In fact, most automotive diesels (in the US) older than about 1995 are not direct injection. They’re indirect injection, or IDI. The concept is similar, but rather than injecting the fuel directly into the cylinder, they inject the fuel into a small “combustion chamber” that is built into the cylinder head and separate from the cylinder, which is also usually where the glow plug is. It’s also typically injected via a poppet valve at a much, much lower fixed pressure than a direct injection diesel (5000psi vs 25,000psi on a direct injection). Since this Kubota is a small, non-turbo industrial engine that isn’t subject to typical automotive emissions requirements, I’d be willing to bet that it is IDI as well, not DI.

I actually needed to go look through the videos because I thought I missed a few the way you said the audio may have been off. Nope, I've not missed any videos and the audio is perfect. Big thumbs up to your editor/s for the high quality stuff👍 would have never known if not told.

"How can you tell if a tree is a dogwood tree?" "By its bark."

Going to be cool seeing you test this engine. I know a guy that put a 50hp tractor engine in a Ford ranger. It got up to speed fine. The truck got 40 mpg.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

Fell well jimbo! Wish you a full and speedy recovery

Yes yes yes the eagle has landed had me rolling good clean fun lol

Praise the Lord for a glorious weekend! On these wonderful days, try to smile more than you cry, give more than you take, and love more than you hate

“Your Monday morning thoughts set the tone for your whole week. See yourself getting stronger, and living a fulfilling, happier and healthier life.”

turbocharged 722cc kubota diesel swapped into a saturn sounds pretty cool :D

Fallen leaves on the ground are the golden song of immortal creativity.

Right now I live in a 100+ year old school building that’s been converted to apartments. It has the most wonderful original wood floods, and the light through the windows in the mornings is fantastic. My dog spends the first few hours after sunrise moving from sunny spot to sunny spot just basking. But those glorious windows are wood framed, single pane originals that are stunningly drafty. Like sometimes I think paper taped into the frames would keep the cold out better. And occasionally I get whiffs of broccoli but I can’t tell where it’s coming from.

Always be kind to anyone, you’ll never know how deep you touch someone’s life.

“On this lovely Sunday, remember to take a deep breath and relax. Enjoy your family, your friends, and indulge yourself in a nice cup of coffee.”

Genius! Brilliant explanation as usual. Now I finally understand why a pedantic engineer friend always used to say that "diesels don't have throttles". ;-)

September days are here, with summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer.

Danger do not upset the hose, you never know what an angry hose is capable of. Greatly enjoy your show.

Great engine for a 1920's era small truck

"The heat of autumn is different from the heat of summer. One ripens apples, the other turns them to cider."

The Soundquality is wonderful. There isn't a single issue that cought my attention.

It’s the first day of autumn! A time of hot chocolatey mornings, and toasty marshmallow evenings, and, best of all, leaping into leaves!

I can't wait to see the road test of this build

It takes quite a lot to get me excited: And boy howdy, am I excited about this swap. Cheers, good sir!

When we find someone who is brave, fun, intelligent, and loving, we have to thank the universe.

Outro music is back baby!

That little engine really runs good. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.

I didn't hear any issues with the video! Looks and sounds good! Super excited about this swap!

Love that flash of lightning ...

Looking forward to the new stuff and I hope you get better soon.

There is nothing more joyful to me than hearing a live audience laugh. Especially when I planned it that way!

Love these videos . Those Kubota engines are bulletproof.

“What you do has greater impact than what you say.”

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

“Talent means nothing, while experience, acquired in humility and with hard work, means everything.”

OMG hahaha. "Using government math, looks like we have about 6 million screws to remove..." Absolute gold.

Hope is hearing the music of the future. Faith is to dance to it.

"October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins."

Thanks Jimbo! Best video in a while!

Your levels are spot on... please thank your hearing crew for their fine assistance... In the mean time I'm really looking forward to your ac powered Saturn...

Always love the content.! Hope your hearing will be fine again.

Audio is excellent btw 👍

“Fear has a large shadow, but he himself is small.”

I do love diesel cars. Wish more came that way from the factory.

You have re peaked my interest in your channel. This looks like fun.

This is not a fancy option but… ice cream sandwiches. On a number of occasions I’ve felt a last minute panic to come up with dessert so opted to buy a big box of ice cream sandwiches. No matter how elegant your dinner was, everyone is genuinely delighted to have an ice cream sandwich. It’s so fun and easy. This is so fun for the kids too.💖💖💖

I Will Pray for Your Hearing, Love Your Video's!

“Sundays are a good day to look at the limitless possibilities of the week ahead.” -

The sound in the video was fine, get well soon.👍

What a happy little engine! I can't wait to see these tests. You'll be proving what Europe knew for a long time. A small diesel engine in a lightweight car actually gets great fuel economy with enough torque to move around. The audio in the videos has been fine to my ear, and I'm pretty picky. Great work!

Only thing about the sound I noticed, no uplifting intro music at the start, but it was there at the end at least... :D As for the engine, wow, that thing started up easy once it was all primed and ready to go, so used to hearing those kind of things crank over for ages before they catch, even with glowplugs...

Great job! Excited to see what happens!

Hope your October is crawling with fun!

“Collect your energy during the week, you’ll need it if you still want to dance during the whole weekend!”

Kubota Saturn. Awesome!

This is so freaking neat. I can't wait to see how you do this. That is a cool little diesel motor.

I noticed nothing out of the ordinary on sound but I did notice something extraordinary about your mechanical abilities.

“When I hear somebody sigh, ‘Life is hard,’ I am always tempted to ask, ‘Compared to what?”

The audio is impeccable, I wish you a speedy recovery nonetheless

This will be great. Thanks Stuart.

“Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them… they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.”

Another great video! Sounded good to me. Thanks!!

I've got one of that motor running my band saw. Sips fuel in that application.

Jimbo - you sound fine; the videos have been sounding fine; and that Kubota sounds SWEET! This is gonna be a great series, I'm getting my popcorn ready. I hope the garden gnomes don't try anything tricky...

There is a time in the last few days of summer when the ripeness of autumn fills the air, and time is quiet and mellow.

So sorry to hear about your hearing loss! The audio sounded perfectly fine in this episode and I didn't notice anything unreasonable in the previous few episodes, so you're handling like a champ!

First time here and I'm already jealous of your project 🤣🤣. Can't wait for the turbocharger installed and first ride. Congrats and good luck.

Sounds good! Didn't notice anything different.

"Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale."

I literally was just thinking to myself at the start of the video how good you sound had got since you started. Then to hear you say that you are having hearing loss was kind of a shock

Perfect audio, thank you.

There really was a Captain Morgan. He was a Welsh pirate who later became the lieutenant governor of Jamaica.

Cold side of cooling system normally enters at bottom of motor and comes out top. Using convection cooling as a aid. Water heats goes up, rad cools goes down 👍

Always fun to watch.
