That's kind of the route I was thinking of going. I just wasn't sure of the size of those engines. I know I have seen a small Kubota 2 seater truck/UTV type unit that is diesel powered, but I think that one had a top speed of about 20 mph, which is a little too slow for me (not that I couldn't find a way to make it go faster with different gearing).
