Rear Engine BJ70...

Yes, things get a tad bizarre around the potato patch on occasion.

I had to get the 3b out from behind the goat barn before the fields got too soft

I used to use this thing on the front of my 40 and 45 with the winch, seems to work fine on the back of the 70 too.

I was going to put the engine carefully into a trailer and tow it out of the field, thinking that this arrangement would be kinda dodgy, but it was totally solid back there,so I just drove it the whole way...

( and btw, if anyone has heavy s*** to move around their yard where the grounds too lumpy for a cherry picker, you're welcome to borrow the a-frame, it's a pretty handy thing to have around.)

Can you not stuff that under the hood and have a V-8 twin turbo diesel????????????

 

[seapotato]

yeesh, that sounds complicated. I was thinking just a driveshaft running forwards and a belt to the pinion.

Nice! Hey do you want to sell the t-stat housing off that 3b?
I cracked mine changing the fricken t-stat on the weekend

 

[seapotato]

Well that sucks.

I have plans for this 3b tho, so can't help, sorry.

Someone around here probably has one tho...

Ferrari 328GTi transaxle just happens to be a perfect bolt-in. Total fluke.
