Yanmar conversions

I am not sure if this is the place to post this but is a diesel conversion and "custom build".
I am in the process of building two diesel pressure washers (one for work, one for me), a diesel garden tiller and a diesel firewood splitter, all using the Yanmar L70 engine, which I bought four of recently. Three of the four engines are new and were each mounted to a 2" trash pump. They have a shaft machined to 1" SAE and they are recoil start.
I am getting the parts to build the pressure washers from Northern Tool and mounting them in the "roll cage" that the trash pump came in. I am hoping to buy a 35 ton firewood splitter, less engine from Tractor Supply Co. and install the Yanmar on it. I have a MTD Yard Machines rear tine tiller that needs a little work but was given to me. It has a bad gas engine on it and the Yanmar will go right on it with minimal modification. After these, my next project will be to install an old Kubota 600 cc inline 2 cylinder liquid cooled engine into a golf cart if I can find one with a bad gas engine. Other engines I have for future projects are 1995 5.9 Cummins 190 horse from a spotter truck. It needs rings and a mild overhaul. I want to trade it for a 3.9 Cummins.
I have a Acme single cylinder air cooled engine from a BCS tiller that I would like to eventually use instead of the MTD/Yanmar tiller.
If I knew how to post pics from my cell phone, I would do so as the projects come together. Pressure washers should be complete this week. I should know about the firewood splitter later in the week and am slowly working on the garden tiller.
