She is not much boys and girls but paid for. It hard on fuel and very noisy.



Oh and the dodge dakota in the video is mine also. 

It's not a car, but it functions as my form of transportation.


Also not my picture, but it's the same basically.

haha nice selfmade "car" !!
What was it originally?

LOL a Dynamark 11-32 with a peerless 5 speed transmission. It seemed a little slugish with the 11 horse briggs, so I outfitted it with a 50hp 396cc Rotax and a set of 44mm Mikuni carbs in place the stock HD Tillotsons. Suppose to be at or just over 63hp now. It originally still had the hood but it decided it wanted to ride me. Trying to find another hood and need to gear it up some more and install the hitch and wheelie bars. Then my son is going to learn how to groove and cut tires.  I hate that, smoke and rubber everywhere. To tight to got buy an electric planer like we use to use years ago on full size tractor tires.

oh engine from my company good.

Cool, help me get two standard bore pistons and ring sets for that motor. For this motor they are near to impossible to find where I live. I found a aftermarket set on ebay and had to mortgage the house and deliver my first born.  Seriously I do need to find a set though.

cant you get them fabricated? If the company i work for cant source pretty much anything they try to make what they can, it can be pretty hard without drawings but its doable. But it could be expensive as if it takes them a few tries the material and labour charges will mount up. I work for a hydraulic company specialising in oil purifiers. But any good engineering firm should be able to replicate it. But you would end up playing more than the aftermarket kit =(

Oh I am sure it can be done, but it wouldn't be cost effective for a company to set up and for tooling to make just two pistons. If I was still in school I could cast them and turn them myself or better yet cut them from billet since that crazy thing can hit 11,000 rpms and a void in the casting may turn things into a grenade. But I don't trust my hands running a mill or lathe anymore or my eyes. I was told I got extremely lucky when I found the two new wiesco pistons because they haven't made them in years. Other option is to find a set of 440 jugs, heads, and pistons which I been told are everywhere just have come off around something like $400-$500. Damn I must be getting old, here I am worrying about $500 and in 2004 I never thought a bit about spending upwards of $180,000 building a component diesel super stock tractor. Of course I did that for someone else and didn't have cough up more money when it decides to spit out a turbo or lock up a $18,000 sigma injection pump.
