Loved mine til I let a buddy borrow it and he threw a rod.Wouldn't even pay to fix it!Trying to decide if I wanna rebuild or just install a 23hp Predator....
@@jonwcs5842 Will do once I decide,lol.Predators are inexpensive,per se,but dunno if it would hurt "originality",or does it matter on a piece of equipment......
It's worth fixing! If not you, sell it, there are many folks looking for these as a project. Parts for that engine won't be easy to find, but they are out there. I know I guy who fitted a 2.5 chevy 4 cylinder engine in his. It's awesome. But nothing beats the old Wisconsin American iron!
