I just became the proud owner of a 2-cylinder diesel Mitsubishi R2500, complete with after-market double-acting loader and a 5-foot Woods belly-mower.
It came with a brand-new set of 11.2-24 long-bar/short-bar rear tires, the wheels being welded onto machine-cut adapter plates to make them fit.
I also got a second set of very wide 16" split-rim wheels with HUGE Firestone turf-tires; I figure these were original equipment.
The front tires were antique recap 6.40-15 snow-treads with the tread loose from the casing and just flopping around on one, and the other not far behind; I have already replaced them with new 3-rib DeeStone 5.00-15s.
What I do know so far :
These were only offered (and maybe only made) in 1972.
25-HP, 2-cyl., 73ci, engine code "2DR 10C".
What I would like to know :
Where can I get, or have someone copy, any manuals, literature, etc.
Lacking that, I need to know such things as fluid capacities and recommended fluids.
Replacement filter numbers.
What other applications this engine was used in, and what years.
Any information at all would be appreciated.
I know that there are at least two in existence, mine and this one :
