Good break down of the injector pump issues, I'm surprised with all the junk on it but I haven't had any dealings with the small diesels. Looks like they forgot to clean the packing grease off of it before they assembled the motor
I did a conversion from an old worn-out Briggs that was on a Wheel horse cheaper version called the Work Horse. From a 16 hp Briggs to an 18 hp Predator. I used hockey pucks as spacers under my motor mount plate: 1 to stop or alleviate vibration from motor thru frame making for smoother ride. 2 To stop the shock when pulling in the PTO like snow blower or sickle bar mower. I am thinking of doing a bigger displacement Diesel this summer.
Hard to beat a predator! Budget friendly with a huge aftermarket support. I like the hockey puck idea. I was worried about the vibration from this little diesel engine but it seems manageable so far. Thanks for watching!
I ordered one of these engines and I’m at the 20mm crank issue, I’m thinking of buying a 20mm drill bit to drill out the pulley, or shave down the crank with flapper discs.
The method I used worked then and is still holding up. However, Im sure there are more precise ways to go about it. I never thought about machining the crank down. These pretty much come apart like a predator so it wouldn't be difficult to get the crank out and to a machine shop.
Great work on the engine swap! I’ve definitely made similar rigs with bolts and sandpaper! I’ve never board out a hole with it like you did, but I use it to clean the inside of pulleys after their rusted to crankshaft and things.
That's pretty cool . Just wondering do you have a good muffler for the 314 H that you would part with? I picked up a 314 and am trying to restore it a little here and a little there and a stock muffler is on the wish list.
As I matter of fact I’d sell the muffler off this tractor. The engine is just sitting in the barn. Shoot me an email and I’ll get you some pics. Laidoffgarage@aol.com
the epa had put out a repower band with diesel motors on lawn mowers. be it to mow lawn or to tool around ur yard. did this 2 months ago. your in trouble oldman .. hahhahhaha o wait thats california crap hahhaha
I will say that since I've done this swap, I've had no issues with it. Starts first pull every time. It's became my go to for moving stuff around the yard
I've had no issues with mine that wasn't my fault. I put 23 hours on one as a hay elevator motor and I just purchased another one with a 2inch water pump. The only issues I've had so far was water getting into the fuel and needed to replace the recoil starter. Just flush the crank before starting it the first time as easy insurance.
Uhh... As a machinist I wanna smack whoever gave you that garbage quote. To bore out that pulley is such a quick job, I myself would feel bad charging $25. But that would be a fair (but on the high side) price anyway. That's well under an hour of work.
@@LaidOffGarage fyi, you should get a 20mm H-bushing if you ever need to put the engine on something else. I've made it a habit to always have an h-bushing for every shaft size I have and a couple of h-pulleys just in case.

You got that Mustie laugh when the engine starts.
Look's like a return that went straight back on the shelf and resold to you.
That is a cool little diesel engine
I will say that this thing will always start. I maybe fire it up once a month and it always hits on the first pull

I just wish I’d known that I could pull the injector without pulling side cover. Would have saved a helluva mess lol! Thanks for watching !

@15:35 you got the "keyway" put in there??? 😅😂
Super cool build! Definitely do more updates on it! Congratulations 🎉
If you haven't seen it yet, I have a playlist on my channel for the build. All the way up to part 5. Thanks for watching!
@@LaidOffGarage I'll definitely check it out. Congratulations on your build 👏

Thanks sir!
Yeah, you need to change the exhaust
👌👌👍👍 Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! Take care
there might be something on the belt cover that keeps the belt from coming off.
I have that same thought when I was editing the video. The side cover helps a lot with belt deflection so I’m sure that was part of the problem !
It a shame when you buy something new from China this happens and to alot of people like me and you and you did good getting it going
It's always the gamble ! Luckily it was an easy fix

Smokes more than the old gas motor. Rebuild it and put it back on.

lol!
As tempting as those small diesel engines are, I WILL NOT BUY ONE TO SAVE MY SANITY! They are not worth the headache.
