Congrats-do you have a video of it running? I'd like to hear the turbo. I tried the link, but would not open.

Hello Deas - That is funny....I was thinking the blade was set waaaay out there so the turbo would not suck it into the engine.[img]/media/kunena/emoticons/smile.gif[/img]

Hi, ol coyote.
That sure would be one POWERFUL sucker of a turbo.
Thanks for sharing the photos.
Just my 0.02.

i wonder how much power gain mind you they only had 50hp at factory spec.
Depends on the rack setting, sometimes a turbo can be added for higher elevations, if fuel is set higher up to 20 more horsepower could be added. Some D315 power unit's with just higher rpm put out 90 hp.
I finally got a chance to adjust the steering clutches and she steers and pushes great. She can definitely spin the tracks.
Here is a video of her pushing some stumps, trying to get her warmed up for an oil change.

Here is a video of her idling, I could listen to that music all day.

I still need to change the oil in the transmission and finals, adjust the pony starter pinion springs and then she should be good to go.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
