nice vid!

This machine required a red diesel #1 or clear diesel #2?

your fresh air intake should be outside.. just saying

Does it release microplastic because the water is hot?

Awesomeness

N2-T Plateau model, just getting to understand it. Bought the 16' ducting hooked it up and it quit, the code said overheating. Installed it in a shed near my 5th wheel (36') cut the ducting in half ran it thru a window does a great job of keeping the place warm. Ran an extension cord to power. Temps around 50 to lower 30s. I'd like to have it right outside the window so I can have the controller inside. I can off/on with the remote from inside but don't like to keep power on the step down unit. The window is 60" off the ground. I've got a metal adjustable shelving unit and a storage bin maybe put a piece of ply underneath the unit. Got a Jackary 1000 to power if the lights go out. Thanks for the video. We learn as we go along.

Did u retain the navigation, compass, and street names on your digital gauge cluster above the steering wheel?

Surprised its so loud in your vid, my heater is coming tomorrow.

Where did you get fender flares?

Thanks. I was a little disappointed that you left out the detail of fixing the exhaust on. I might seem obvious to some, but really wanted to see how you clipped it on, where the silencer might go. Instead we saw the result of installation rather than installation itself 🤷‍♂️….

What did you do with the side motor mount?

How do you get custom firmware

OUCH! You went about it the hard way, but glad you got it done! I swapped in an Amazon "DuroMax XP18HPE" (they don't sell them anymore, you can only get the 16hp one) but quite frankly, it's a tad overpowered unless you're towing stuff around on your property. I get on the road and it reaches top speed in no time! A few hints for others looking to do this swap: 1. Remove the bed! It's so much easier to get in/around. No need to remove the seat and associated plastic. 2. Remove the engine via the four bolts that hold it to the plate and the little rubber mount I saw you welding on earlier. No need to remove that whole plate. 3. Use a pickle fork and a dead-blow hammer to separate the clutch assembly from the engine. You don't need to remove the big nut (30mm) but just the Allen head screw (it's really long, like 4" or 5"?) That's what holds the whole clutch assembly to the engine. Occasionally tap the big nut with a steel hammer to shock it. It will come off without breaking. Keep the Woodruff key! The one that comes with your new engine may be too tall; if the clutch doesn't just slide right on, use the original. 4. You should be able to re-use the choke setup from the old engine just fine (mine had no trouble fitting, even with the new plastic intake assembly.) No need to remove the cable. The little gray plastic choke lever just pulls right off. 5. The charge coils are a different story, I suspect the one in my new engine is small, if you're up to the task I'd suggest swapping the coil out of the original engine to maintain a decent charging system. Do this before mounting the new engine, it's not something you want to do while it's in the buggy. I'll probably regret this down the line as I didn't change mine out. Looking at possibly using a small tractor generator to generate a lot more power since I have extra lights I put on mine (turn signals, interior light, light bars, etc.) Swapping means pulling the whole flywheel off. Not too hard to do, but a lot of extra steps to do so. 6. Throttle cable bracket is integrated into the top plate of the original engine (at least, it was on mine.) I made mine from a piece of 1.5" angle aluminum (1/8 thick, about 1.5" long.) With a sharpie, just figure out where to mount it and drill holes. Use a tap for the original screw and clamp setup. You just need one solid mount point on the engine (I used one of the bolts that holds the shroud on.) I did have to cut out some parts to shape it to fit, the Sharpie is great for marking where you need to cut. If the throttle itself is STIFF (since this is usually meant for stationary equipment) you'll need to loosen the throttle pivot nut so it returns with spring tension. The original throttle return spring should be easy to put on the new engine but make sure it clears everything. I had to use a flat head screwdriver to gently dent in the bracket the spring was catching on. You want that strong return spring since you've got the throttle attached to a big pedal. 7. I reinstalled the heat shield that goes where the gas tank was (not sure it's necessary to be honest.) 8. Install a fresh fuel filter and fill your tank with fresh gas. New engines don't come with oil so don't forget to add enough oil. FYI my new fuel filter was only 3/16" vs. 1/4" - check your fuel line out and make sure you get the right size, and use decent clamps (I use the kind that just need pliers to open, they work just fine.) 9. Once you've got it in and wired up (all the wires except the charging setup should just plug in, refer to your wiring diagram) turn the gas and choke on - give it a start! Should start right up. It may idle high (mine did) so the screw to adjust this is on the carb; it's a little plastic Phillips head screw; unscrew it until you don't hear the engine RPM decreasing anymore. If you don't, the clutch will want to engage and will be hard to shift in/out of gears. 10. This clutch/CVT system is pre-set, there's not much you can do outside of moving the spring position in the driven clutch (it's a torsional spring, not a compression spring despite the immediate appearance.) You won't get a higher top speed, but you'll have a lot more acceleration and if you're towing something it won't struggle hardly. "While you're in there" it's not a bad idea to replace the belt. Be sure to put that rubber mount on the back left side of the engine on, it keeps the engine from twisting enough for the belt to come loose. Re-use all the nice nylock nuts they use, this makes sure nothing comes loose! IF your drive clutch is squealing when you take off, remove that big 30mm nut and the outer clutch setup will pop off. Clean the inside and the weights (the blocks) with brake cleaner really good. I do like this Predator engine, mine does not have any kind of oil pump system like this does, but it was also only $350 and shipped to my door. My original seized up on me while out on a ride with my son - it developed an oil leak (still can't find it) and the oil sensor never kicked in to stop it. Couldn't start it by electric starter or pull start (couldn't even get it to turn.) Oh, and get yourself a linear actuator for the bed! All you need is a few wires, a DPDT on/off/on rocker switch and a long bolt to mount it to the frame. The spring loaded latch on mine gave out ages ago and one day when I ran up to the gas station with my gas tanks, it popped off and nearly dropped all my cans on the ground! Thankfully I bungee cord them through the handles so they stayed in place.

I'm wondering what you did about the rubber engine mount by the drive pulley. I didn't see it in the video. I'm doing the same engine swap and I plan to fab one up to fit the 459 since it doesn't have the same mount points for it as the Honda clone. I'm worried that since the 459 has more power, it will twist the lower rubber mounts too much. That upper mount is there to prevent that pull from the pulley from twisting the mounts. Thanks. PS: Was your torque converter rusted on or did you forget the bolt in the shaft end?

Mine wont shif out of firsti can go to neutral .reverse dont work when im in first ,and when i rode it back it shift out of first to neutral to first could it be a bent fork?

My timberwolf will shift from neutral to 1st but wont reverse in firat i was riding it normally but after i took a brake i got back on it it started doing that.when i was riding back to my house it was shifting from 1st to neutral do you think it could be a bent fork?

You gave a great review on the Tesla style radio for your tundra I’m thinking of getting one.. any issues so far??

Love the plans. I just wonder how necessary It is to use pocket holes on the design.

How is it holding up now?

Do you still have the 3 slip shoes from your old clutch? I may be interestested in them.

These things probably last a good while if you keep the rain out em when not in use.

Thanks for the video! Can I buy your muffler from you, since you're not going to use it? Serious.

My Timberwolf won’t shift up

I would think a metal horseshoe will bounce pretty hard off that concrete edge and possibly take someone out

This is awesome! Been wanting to do this for years!!

Now a days it is 319$

Northern accent is thick

How many birds for that size? Watch a lot a videos on dyi chicken coops. This one by far the best. Ty.

Very nice chicken coop. The best I've seen so far on TH-cam. Great job.

Is the clutch a direct replacement ? My lm400 has some wear on the pulley faces. A new clutch is $500 bucks. Looking for a more affordable option. Thanks

and your rubber hose from home depot - i think that has a temperature limit that would not allow for 100+ F water temperatures.

is there any problem with using that pump to pump 102-104 F water flowing through it?

Definitely one of the best pallet coops I've seen! Awesome job!

Pump intake at tub can suck body parts in. A kid died when he got down on tub drain feeding pump. Horribly it sucked his insides out. Make sure you have a guard that will not alloy someone to get up against and seal to the tub feed to the pump. It looks like your just using the pump to circulate at low pressure instead of drive tub jets so this should not be a problem for your setup. Its normal to have two feeds from tub to pump so it one gets blocked it will draw from the other without damage. Hydraulics have lots of force.

Roost?

High 20s mpg?

Long term review? How’s it holding up? Since they just snap in, does it’s squeaking or rattle at all?

Damn that’s a good ass deal. U definitely got lucky. U can’t find a small box for 200 now days unless it’s beat to shit. Great deal

very nice

Im getting this for my turtles soon 😄

I got inspired by this video… instead of buying a chicken coop why not make one… how much pallets to I need to make a coop for maximum 10 chickens?

What are the symptoms that it needs a new clutch? I have one that doesn’t move at all in gear, could it be the clutch or discs?

The gas water heater can actually work continuously for how many hours a day?

would love to see a follow up video to see how bad that table burnt from the exhaust!

awesome review

Can you use the remote to change between fan and temperature setting?

Would absolutely love a tutorial on how to setup and use and in depth review on this heater. There isn’t much info at all about this specific model. But really thinking about buying for my studio detached garage.

How much propane did you use to heat up the 300 gal? Think about getting wood burner before i saw your video.
