Sawmill Engine Upgrade

[harmons_ranch]

I'm running a 10 HP tecumseh engine on my bandsaw mill and have been looking for an engine to upgrade with.  I found this 2 cylinder International diesel (DU-66-D) that was used to power a generator.  

It produces 16 HP at 2000 RPM with 45 ft/lbs of torque at 1200 RPM.  It is larger than I was looking for, but it runs well and should do the job.  My setup is a  two post design, but  I will likely have to go with four posts due to the extra weight.  It is also liquid cooled which is not ideal since the radiator takes up a lot of space.  Thoughts and suggestions welcome.

What is your lift system ?

I'm using a boat winch, but I have the components to upgrade to acme rod powered by a wheelchair motor.

Wayyyyy to big for your mill, well over 10X the weight of your Tecumseh

X2 By the time you do the conversion you will have been further ahead to use an air cooled

That must be old technology, I am not exaggerating when I say it is about the same size as my 55HP Yanmar.

That looks like a sweet old motor . Would love to have it to drive one of my old planers .

Way to heavy for a sawmill I'm thinking. Maybe do a trade

It is a nice engine and rune great.  A trade can work; let me know what you have.
