Hi all, I been a lurker more than a member for awhile…I just picked up a ’96 Sportsman 500…3577mi…Smoked cam, Destroyed piston/cylinder, con-rod-Smoked! Also, There was no oil in it when I got it…crank was full of coolant! Pretty sure it was run that way:motz:

Now I have been looking for a 455 diesel for a loooong time….But after hearing about some issues people have with them…I decided to go 3cyl for a MUCH smoother ride…Won’t be as hard on belts either…

With that being said…I happen to have a kubota D600-B 3cyl diesel that is Rated at 18hp @ 2400…I got it out of a transicold reefer unit.

Suggestions and comments on fitment and other issues I might have…Throw ’em out there!

Thanks for viewing!

Ben
