[C38] question for Yanmar owners

[Max Soto]

Don and Phil, Thanks for the info! I noticed that there are several ratios,
very close to each other..They are higher than the original Universal with
the Hurth tranmission, but I guess that the main difference is not the 3
extra horse power, but the rpm difference between one and the other.. I
haven't seen the engine here yet, so, I'll let you know how it goes..

Regards,

Max
