Oh IC now. If you need the ER you go to the ED. But if you have the other ED you don’t go to the ED. Got it :thumbsup:

While I appreciate the work the guy did, unless he has gobs of money and time, why would he invest that much into a lawn tractor for a few short joyrides until he is bored with it?
I believe the MF 35 is a full size AG tractor, not a toy lawn tractor.. also, you'd be surprised what people have bought or made that would seem useless to some people!.. fun, challenge, and uniqueness play a part!.. for instance how about the V8 powered snowblowers? to Me, those could be very useful..

You speak with great insight, my friend.
btw, was you experience with Jet Ski, Snowmobile, Three-Wheeled motorcycle, or Ski Boat with boom for 'barefooting'?
Around here, guys build 'wind generators' and 'solar collectors' ... at least that's what the shattered remains in the yards sort of look like.
When I was young, putting a V-8 in something small was on everyone's bucket list, (MGB, TR4, Nash Metro.etc) until emission controls and kids threw sand on our plans.
Nowadays we'll settle for 'turn-key starting'.

That is NOT a full size AG tractor and it is NOT a MF35 regardless of what the title of the youtube says.

To think what these guys could build if they put their attention to something of practical value. Oh well, to each his own, as they say.
I saw several account of really rare, mint, expensive cars or trucks out on the public road and just get T-boned out of nowhere or some such thing. One, wasn't even insured yet.
There are competitions with V8 powered chain saws. Definitely practical!

Real Men would use a nice big (turboed) Cat or Cummins. GAS V8 is for *******!

Audi used to successfully race diesel powered cars in F1.

Correction...their R10 TDI diesel powered race cars competed successfully in LeMans and Sebring.
Here in the US, diesel powered cars lack popularity likely due to the recent VW/Audi diesel gate cheating and the late 70s early 80s GM diesel powered sedans. The GM 350 C.I. V8 diesel was a tough engine but needed refinement. Those V8s leaked and sprayed oil all over the engine compartment due to poor PCV design.
While in Germany, I experienced diesel sedan performance first hand when I rode with a friend in his BMW diesel powered sedan. We were driving from the factory to a restaurant about 10 miles away, with rear tires smoking and no signs of a diesel engine under the hood. When we got to our destination, he asked, "Vat do you think of my BMW diesel?" I asked him to raise the hood. Tucked beneath was a compact diesel with turbo, spinning away at idle with none of the inherent signs of diesel clatter.
Yes, I would like to have a diesel engine in my personal car. But here in the US, we'll likely see diesel only in heavy hauler pickup trucks...pity.

Don't tell that to Audi and their 8 LeMans victories in various diesel configurations. I have a re-tuned TDI that gives many six cylinder gassers a run for their money. Particularly at roll on speed. Tons of torque at 2,000 rpm and just a push of the pedal away. Obviously it helps greatly to have a turbo.
