Thanks guys. If i can find a 8 hp brigg or less that crank starts and bolts right on i'l probably do that the lawn mower engine idea seems a bit complicated for my skill level. I appreciate the input cause i might have gotten my self jammed. Oh btw because of where i live parts and machines are really hard to find at good prices ( about twice the price for a lawn or garden tractor or mower ).:thanku: :OHCAN
