I don,t see why a 16 hp kohler or briggs would,n work .my 1650 snapper has a 16 hp kohler. my qt has the 16 onan.which is in the same shape as yours. but we can buy engines for around 350 to 400 dollars here.I would use any engine that will bolt up.
Yah, I don't know the answer to the previous question about bolt size and holes..Ok, so no one knows
Before i begin my breakdown og the QT, can someone tell me how the driveshaft is connected to the Sundstrand? i have to take the rear end off, how do I remove the drive shaft? Is it boltet on? If someone has a picture on how its removed i would be VERY happy... I will be posting pictures when my project is up and running....
