Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-26-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

You may not need to change the exaust with a electric pto. Might be cheaper in the long run

You have a great point, do Kohlers and Onans use tapered roller bearings? I like the idea of an electric as it would save some modification and have a cleaner look.

Isn't this engine supposed to have a ball bearing crankshaft? With plain bearings side loading would be a greater issue.

Yes is has roller bearings, but even roller bearings are not the best for side load. Being that its not a premium engine I don't think I will take the chance.

The exhaust will need to move out for hood clearance and I need to flip it and put the discharge on the front (currently facing operator)
