Note: This model is a first attempt at framing a Volkswagen engine in a Power Cube. The pumps shown are crude models of triple pumps for powering three independent hydraulic circuits for a LifeTrac.
Note: This model shows a cooler that was used for the prior 28 hp power cube. For updated cooler information see the following link: Selecting A Cooler
