Wishin4a416 2,185 #1 Posted December 28, 2016 My local HF has the 22 Predator marked down to 599. The lowest I have ever seen it. I should go and grab one but I just don't need it. Hope some of you guys who have been wanting one have the same deal in your area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,690 #2 Posted December 28, 2016 I saw that too Jack, I get the coupon/special emails....should go get one just in case an Onan goes south. Still kinda worried about side loading effects on the crank but for that price ya get a couple years out of it ya done good. Other guys here I read have done a repo with them and said they use half the fuel of an Onan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

82Caddy 851 #4 Posted December 29, 2016 I have one in a D series. Close to 100 hours now. All of those with a loader but the break in period. Running a pulley off the crank for the loader pump (no manual or electric PTO) without issue. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Specs say ball bearings supported crank...and a couple videos on there sounds pretty good too... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #6 Posted December 29, 2016 Bowtieguy put one on his C-175. He went with a electric clutch to help with side load on the crank shaft. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
