Been thinking of doing the same sort of thing. Don't see any reason it shouldn't work provided the diesel will turn 3600 RPM. Simplicity sold Lombardini powered diesels for some time. Think they were/are single cylinders.

| I missed this post too...sorry. Lots of people are putting the Chinese diesels in tractors these days. I know at least 2 put in Massey's and they love them. It's do-able for sure! |

Yes, but sadly Chinese diesels are pretty much all anyone can afford these days. But then most small diesels in sub compacts are made overseas also. |

Why Phil, thought you knew. 
Everything is Chinese made now. That's why we don't have jobs anymore. 
But, fear not, O-bomb-a is going to save us.

Roy, last time I looked we were getting pretty pink...if your are poor, never fear, you will have company very soon. We will all be working for the government or for Walmart! |
