S2E22 First start of the Kubota D722 diesel that we are going to use for our Saturn engine swap.

Season 2 Episode 22. In today's episode, Jimbo works on the abandoned diesel engine. With a flash of lightning and a clap a thunder it lives! The Kubota’s first breath is in the heartland of the good ole US of A. Rolling coal never sounded so sweet. Join us on this new adventure!

I didn't notice anything off on the audio - hope your issues clear up soon!

I have visualised my imagination so clearly and so consistently that it has manifested itself into my reality.

The tiniest dream that you make happen is worth more than the biggest dream that you never attempt.

This channel offers the best answer to the questions: “Why the heck are you doing this?” and “Don’t you know XYZ would make more sense if you wanted to accomplish ABC?”

That most astute of answers is: “Huh?”

Thanks Jimbo and Co. for doing this crazy stuff. It’s so much fun to see what’s possible with a little FleaBay, a little Jungle Store, a little Hazard Fraught, and a lot of mad scientist energy - especially when the goal isn’t to see what’s possible, or if you can pull it off, but rather just to see it come together.

You're gonna need a 13 speed dual countershaft transmission to get that Saturn up to speed

This tiny engine has no business sounding this good

Praise the Lord for a glorious weekend! On these wonderful days, try to smile more than you cry, give more than you take, and love more than you hate

I didn't see a fuel filter... PSA: No filters even for test running is not so good on a diesel, with the small tolerances of the magical parts inside the injection pump and injectors. Your local diesel pump shop will love you. 😄 Man that engine starts and runs well! Crazy the amount of work 20 hp and less than 100 ft lb of torque actually can do. I spent a lot of years helping on a farm and learned Diesels through the school of hard knocks. Jimbo, you seem to have a handle on things so enjoy your journey and thank you for sharing with us!

Don’t just count your blessings. Be the blessing other people count on😇😇😇😇😇

If you find that you need a lower gear ratio for 5th gear it is an easy swap to replace 5th gear from a single cam trans. Single cam 5th gear will lower rpms at same speed. The cover on the end of the trans houses 5th gear and is a quick swap. I have done this to gain better mpg in the past. Just be sure to replace the set of gears on both shafts and use the syncros on the single cam gear set. Basically just swap everything inside the end housing. The sound is fine and wish you a speedy recovery.

Hearing, which, by the motion of the air, informs us of the motion of sounding or vibrating bodies.

May joy and happiness accompany you throughout day and night! Wishing you a very nice Thursday!

Can't wait to see a turbo on this little D722!
