This one here never had one when we bought it. What is the best one to get? Like a heavy duty or higher rating one. NP:It takes an electric starter.Shroud side there is no provision for pull starter.I don't think I would want to do that with this engine anyhow. It came with solenoid and...

Very painful to look at that nice little 2 horse on that edger! Our two met a horrible fate.That won't happen again! There was an edger like that at a thrift store here for $30. If I knew then what would happen I would have picked it up!

Tom Here's Formula 1000 Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_1000 If you have an old ATV Quad how much of it can you use to build a single seater? Quad's are center steer and so are single seat Formula open wheel racers. Seems like you could use at least some of the front...

"An old cub cadet rear end too narrow or heavy? " Too narrow. Thank you for posting that. Found 3:1 and 4:1 gears. 4:1 Boston Gear PA848Y-G. Have some on Amazon.com. 3:1 ratio Boston Gear guy said not recommended for 10hp Kolher torque. Said 4:1 set was okay. You can find 4 on 4 hubs for 1"...

There's a machine shop down the street from me so we're going to keep him busy.:smile: Note: This can be used for a trike. Like a meter maid thing. Retro. Not making long jumps with. Anyhow there is a gap here to be filled. A junkyard rearend from a micro car is too heavy. Might as well...
