I recently picked up an Ingersoll 446 roller. According to the previous owner, he purchased it from a guy who had installed a Honda motorcycle engine in it. It is obvious that the frame was modified to accommodate something other than the original Onan as he had welded some square tubing to the the top of the frame's engine section and also raised the front of the hood about an inch. Everything was pretty much there except for the engine and PTO clutch. I will need to find a new ignition switch and choke and throttle cable assemblies as well. The tractor is in pretty good shape though.
My plans are to re-power with something?? I've entertained a Honda GL engine, small diesel, a 16 HP Briggs vertical shaft I have laying around or a 16 HP Onan that I can get cheap. I'm not sure which direction I want to go but it will depend on how much time, effort, and money I put into it! Usually it's the $$ that help me decide! :sad: I am going to fab up an enclosed cab regardless of whatever else I do with it.
I am curious to know if the previous owner to the guy I bought it from is on this forum?? He would probably be located near mid Michigan?? If so, please send me a PM as I would like to know what kind of set up you had. Thanks!!
As soon as I get a chance, I will post some pics.
