 Diesel Gator Turbo

Does anyone have the brand and part number for an after market turbo for a Yanmar engine. We retrofited the bigger engine into it, and I am wanting to put a turbo now on it. I think it is the 76 or 77 horse motor.

Thanks!

It is the 6X4. I will have to get the model off the engine block. It is about 3 - 4 inches taller than the old one. We had to cut the belly pan out of the machine and reweld a deeper pan to allow for the engine oil pan. The motor came out of a John Deere front mount mower.

I apologize for the misunderstanding and the lack of knowing what I am talking about. I misunderstood what the motor insignia stood for. The motor taken out of the machine is a model 66. The one put in the machine is a 72. These are stamped on the blocks. I assumed this was the HP. I was wrong. It has to do with bore or stroke. The bigger motor is taller. The oil pan is deeper as well. The hp is probably in the 30 range.

This machine is being built for fun, not to work. I am mounting two seats in the back as well. You could say it is our hopped up "golf cart."
