Does MTD crash test their lawnmower's??? Does anyone know if MTD crash tests their lawnmowers into ditches at 45mph???? 
Turbo LS1's = check
Turbo LT1's= check
Turbo Supra's = check
Turbo anything possible = check

. This tractor suffered a different death. And the sad part is, we do have one already turboed, but it blew at ~10psi . These engines definitely aren't meant for boost...lol. Next is a diesel garden tractor....now it should take some boost. 
For those wanting to do something like this. Its really not that hard....of course fueling is a pain, and so is oiling, since these engines are splash lube style, so you will need a remote oiling system which can be fitted behind most engines and in front of the firewall. Also if you want speed....gearing will need to be changed.

Oh as for which turbo to use...the toyota CT12 will work and some older t04b series units.
Here is a pic of a diesel lawnmower...its using a compound system though...
