Another small update. Replaced the hot water element that was grounding out with a new one, and added a thermostat on both power wires to it. Trying to make it redundant so if a thermostat gets stuck on, I don't heat the oil up too much and catch on fire. Still need to add a overtemp switch...
You can swap the 2 1/2 ton diverter to work in the cab. Bit tricky hooking the cable up, but worked.
here is a link to one I did in cab.

Wisconsin engines are really nothing more than a big briggs and stratton. Just add a coil and distributor. I've got one in the lift, would like to swap it out to diesel. Uses too much propane, and tends to not start when I'm 40 feet in the air. But it does run good.
I run it at 2500 rpms, all day, everywhere I go. It's been all over the state, hauling lots of weight. First truck I got is still going strong, 7 years later.
With the 11-20's I get 59 mph. I also installed the overdrive gear set in my other truck, and love it. It's the way to go, shifts...

I had the 9.0 in a school bus. With 18,000 lbs, and a 4.44 rear end, I could run 65 all day. Slowed down some on the hills, but not bad. Never had any problems out of the engine, it had 220,000 miles on it.
Kinda of funny, last time I had a nail, or actually, a piece of fence that looked like a nail, in my foot, my Grandmother was the one that patched me up...
Hope it heals fast, foot injuries suck.
I added a ball to the front loader bucket of the tractor, that makes it pretty easy to move the campers/trailers around. Would like to add one to the three point, but my scraper is usually attached, may just put a ball on the scraper.
Also welded a plate with a hole in it the top of the...
