Has anyone Converted a Thermo King Isuzu D201 Into a SA 200? I know most popular swaps are Kubota, Yanmar, And Perkins. I found this reefer unit and was wondering if it would work and have enough power. The info I found was that it makes around 34 hp @ 2200 rpms, but at 1550 rpm, maybe it has enough torque to handle max output of the generator. The other question is adapting the flywheel to armature, and bell housing.SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st

Reply:The Red-D-Arc welders run Kubota engines at a constant speed.
Reply:I have found that the biggest issues are the expense of modifying the Flywheel and an adapter for the armature besides adapting the generator housing to the back of the engine from what I was told, and from what I understand, Isuzu built this engine model just for Thermo King, and didn't use it in any other applications, was wondering if anyone here has found an easier way.

Reply:If your handy you just do it yourself....I did have some time in it to say the least so if you had to pay someone, ya, spendy! ....You need; a dial indecator to center the bellhousing(Isuzu) to the old backing plate, clamps to hold it while you drill the holes(none of them interfer with the SA stuff), a drill press and drill bits, a welder and grinder to fill in some of the old unneeded holes were you need metal, a hole saw to cut out the starter hole(I used a 3 5/8), die grinder to make the starter hole fit and a lathe to make the spacer(center of the Isuzu flywheel(I cut it out with 6" slicer blades) plus I had to make an additional .30" spacer(male on one side female on the other so it's centered)....learned alot about my lathe doing that....michael
Reply:I'm using a modified electric fan out of an old Chevy Citation to cool it...I used this TK diesel to power my bucked truck for years and had a Geo metro electric fan and small radiator and it never got hot...I could rev it up or down and shut it off or start it from the ground or the bucket....I'll add this to my remote so it doesn't have to run all day as I'm really high up most of the time and work by myself....

Reply:I've been working so away from my computer....I don't seem to know which way is up on my camera so sorry...first time on uploading pics so that was a pain...hope to finish this weekend....would have been done but I decided to modify the flywheel to except the Isuzu ring gear(will do that different next time)...didn't want to have to lug around 3 batteries to start it with the generator(welder)...if 24 volts would have turned it over I wouldn't have went through that pain but the Isuzu takes 36 volts back fed through the leads(lowest setting) to turn over really nice(24 volts almost stops on every compression stroke)....the extra frame will be the trailer for this....but I need it on a job next week so it will just be slid in my van and I'll paint it when I get time....
Reply:The left side of the frame did not have to be changed at all....I used the c-channel to lower the mount and stiffen the frame back up since the whole top side by the motor on the right side needed to go(it doesn't go outside of the frame however)....the c-channel frame cutout and removal of the old motor mount is all I did...and everything else fits so far....will post more pics if anyone cares....Michael

then used my lathe to center it on the SA200 flywheel
I was hoping this would be too much so I could just take some off but I needed .300" more to line up the housing and the armature
I used the holes from the D201 "adaptor" I made to drill new holes in my SA200 flywheel and .30" additional spacer....I used the D201 bellhousing as a template to drill the holes in the SA200 to Continental adaptor plate(filling in holes as needed...but it did bolt up to the back of the D201 quite nicely)
both flywheels are not externally balanced so the SA200 flywheel works(I started It on the floor and rev'ed it up and it ran as smooth as a Honda)(I was not very impressed with the SA200 flywheel's quality it was off center, poorly welded and looked like a bunch of scrap metal they found on the floor(but now I know I can make my own flywheel if I need too(1200 rpm max)).... Getting pictures on here is a pain for me but I'm getting a little better(maybe)...If you have any other questions just let me know....Michael |
