40hp John Deere Rototiller
Filed Under John Deere Lawn Tractors and Snowblowers Videos |
with nothing to for a couple of days, a free John Deere 324 rototiller from the junkyard, and 8 spare snowmoble engines in the basement, it should be obvious. Bolt a 40hp CCW 440cc engine from a 1973 John Deere 500 snowmobile to the rototiller instead of the 3hp underpowered engine which was there. Add an exhaust, throttle cable, and a gas tank and you are all set. at 8000rpm this thing will throw some dirt. Next project is the 25hp 340cc John Deere snowblower from the same philosophy. This is what happens when rednecks study mechanical engineering
