Alternate Use of the Multi-Fuel Engine????

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

I have a question that I have not yet seen addressed here......

While there are many discussions of powerplant changes IN the Deuce....
Gassers
Multi-Fuel (M35A2)
Cat Diesel (M35A3)
I have yet to see/hear any discussions about.....

Has anyone (as a manufacturer or a private individual) ever used the Multi-Fuel engine (Herc, White, Continental, etc.) FROM a Deuce to power anthing else??

Vehicle or stationary applications??

I'd love to hear about your unique applications. And remember:

 

[Wildchild467]

there is a thread on here somewhere about a deuce engine in a pulling tractor

 

[fuzzytoaster]

And also a thread about multi-gen sets.

Thank you, gentlemen
If/When I locate these threads I'll add the links here.

Not trying to leave you hanging, I just purged my subscribe list before posting here. I'm looking as well.

I wanted to rebuild a large boat with one. It wouldn't be fast, but fuel would be cheap.

You could make one heck of a blender, margarita anyone?

No problem FT... Duty called here at the funeral home also (future dead people needed to do some pre-planning) so I haven't been on-line for a few hours.

A guy in Rome, NY uses them on sawmills, says they do real well. JT out

I've always wondered how well they would do in a bulldozer. Id suspect they are overpowered for some smaller dozers, but I'm thinking of like a d6-ish sized dozer it would fit good.

A friend of mine put one in a tracked cable crane at their families marina. He loved the engine, he is the best diesel mechanic in our area. Now him & his dad our on the outs, so he out of the marina. Needless to say I'm not welcome there either to take a picture. So don't give me "this thread is worthless with out pics!" He did give me the parts manual for the engine.

The LD 465 was used in some farm tractors. I can't find them right now but I will keep looking.

jollyroger, Oliver Tractors in the 50's and 60's used a modified LDS Engine, and there are many interchangeable parts still available for those tractors. Also, there is a tractor racing club that exclusively races Olivers, with a Rossamaster injection pump, even currently.

Hope this helps.

Were the Olivers MULTI-FUEL or did they leave the those components off?

Worlds heaviest go-kart engine. I'd like to see someone do that.

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

I'm not sure what the power-to-weight ratio is for these engines (I'm sure it could be found here if I searched for it) but I'm sure there are MANY applications for them. I had not considered "go-carts". I'm imaging a modified Pontiac Fiero with that thought.

I guess I could use the engine, tranny, transfer case and only the front axle from a Deuce and modify my 1990 Ford Probe's front-wheel-drivetrain.... Visibility through the windshield would definitely be a problem.

Anyone ever dyno these or have the published power curves?

Good question......

Remember, these were built for a GOOBERMINT JOB... There's GOT TO BE tons of engineering and testing documentation..... But WHERE???

 

[jamesfrom180]

Some of the diesel forums were a bust. I'm now interested with some of the applications I've heard here. Thinking from what I know of the theory of operations the multi is pretty close to a ford 300 6cyl in power. That said I've seen those engines in almost anything.
