53 blower

Not sure. I guess I am assuming it would be that same engine as the SS 570 or similar.

Just looking it up. The 570 uses the wg972. Almost 1 liter. So that is the issue. Not enough power for the 47 blower. Too bad, it would be a great competitor for all the other ones. Doesn't seem like much of a difference but I guess it is.

I had WG750 Kabota in my home built.
It had more than enough torque to spin the Roots 47 it was hooked to

You mean at lifts greater than blower spec? 47 blower (roots URAI) takes about 18 HP....not a ton of headroom but it could be done






Steam actions specs lead me to believe they are using a smaller engine....maybe this (max hp 750cc range engine I could find....23hp full tilt)?

It says .75l Kubota


which 750cc Kubota puts down 29hp?

Is that a typo?

Actually, Sammy Sales may have said the Kubota in the Raptor only makes 27 or 28 hp. I specifically asked him why he doesn’t use a 47 blower in the raptor and he said because the smaller Kabota is not powerful enough.

The Kubota in the 570/575 is a bit bigger and makes 32ish hp.

They use a 36 or 38 hp Kohler to run their 47 blower machines.

The Nike 1000. I like that machine. Looks simple to work on and do maintenance.

I believe they claim 29 hp. I think they would be better off using the 972 and a 47 blower.
