^ Farm truck. Gets the job done. :)
What made me laugh about this modification was that there is no passenger seat. The Kubota engine sits there.
Na, that pic was taken maybe 10 years ago mate.
The shop is near khan train station, bet it is still there.
^^ Did you notice every vehicle has blocks under its wheels?
No breaks maybe. :)
Friend of mine was looking to get one a year or two back and they seemed to range about 300,000 - 500,000 for a good one.Quote:

In some parts of the country they have the 4 cylinder diesel but most are made with the Kubota.
