Very interesting B Brown.

Would love to see a video of this beast in action!

Also, how do you supply oil for the turbos? This engine doesn't have a pressurized oiling system, does it? I see you have an air/fuel meter on the dash, how does the ratio play out under vacuum/boost? Can the jets supply adequate fuel under boost and still meter fuel properly at idle? Do you have any spark knock under boost? Speaking of boost, how many lbs are you pushing? 1-1.5? I would think that the head gasket would not like much more than that! :bigeyes:

I'm sure that a set of bearing inserts are either in this engine's past or near future.

VERY interesting concept and it's nice to see someone pushing the envelope with these fun little tractors. Good job! Now, about that video? :bigthink:

Very cool tractor!:beer2:

Got the cubs out and took a black and white pic of them.

Cubs looking good Donovan!

Cool pic, Donovan!

Was totally impressed by the 149's ability this evening when it drug up with entire tree. The wife is standing at the end to show how long it was and about 12 inches diameter at the base.

You just can't beat an IH Cub Cadet! :beerchug:

I hope to prove this wrong with the 1782 but it isn't looking promising!! LOL So far my 149 is the goto tractor for everything around my place!!

I know, what you mean, Adam. My 100 is also used for pulling things...lol.

Awesome pic Adam! POTW worthy!

That's until the 169 engine comes back form the engine guy.:beer2:
