Hello! I'm looking for suggestions for a project for a spare D1105-E that I have. It's part of an old Vermeer hydraulic power pack that I purchased from work several years back and runs well. I was going to use it to re-power my ZD-28 but was able to repair that engine instead. Here are a few thoughts I've had for using it:

- Backup generator set. Purchase a generator head and have a reliable backup power source.
- Repower a salvage B2400 or similar. I have a 2WD Ford 1300 but would love to have a 4WD Kubota so I could use a FEL.
- Repower a RTV 1100. I found several with blown motors for pretty cheap and that would be great to have with the dump bed.
- Sell both the engine and my Ford and upgrade my tractor

Any thoughts or advice would be welcomed as I've entered "analysis paralysis" and it's just sitting there collecting dust. Thank you.
