I was expecting this thread to be about something else when I saw the word "reefer."

94_turbo, do you want one with or without the fridge unit? I bought a pup last year for my deer lease w/o the fridge for about $2k. You can find them on trucktraderonline.com.

Try www.ryder.com. Depending on the local sales center and time of year, you can find deals.

Most of the transport reefer units are around 45hp, from what I remember in school.
Try either a small Perkins deisel or a Kubota diesel. You can find the Kubotas in bobcat equipment. Or, if you want to ditch the cooling system, try a Deutz three cylinder or four cylinder. The three cylinders start at about 25hp, and the fours run up to around 70 with a turbo. Just make sure to put a good air filtration system on whatever you get, use either a dustcap stack or a filter housing with a dust trap in it.
