prondzy 3,867 #1 Posted February 14, 2017 Just curious if anyone has repowered a rear engine rider here. What did you use for an engine? This would be on an A 81 i contemplated using a predator vert shaft. Not sure just looking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,505 #2 Posted February 14, 2017 Along with my wheelchair project been throwing around the same idea ... l have a old hydro 18hp BS vert.twin mower (Ranchking or MTD) . Thinking of stuffing the hydro and engine in it . I know there would have some major metal fab to get the engine in but exhaust pipes coming out on each side would be along with the ease of hydro drive . 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,211 #3 Posted February 14, 2017 If you have an engine with the right diameter PTO shaft. I thank most any engine would work on a RER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looked to be in fair shape. Starter was frozen, cant repair just pondering a repower vs finding out the motor burns oil like crazy and being money into a lost cause. And i did buy it for the steering wheel..... but hmyou know how that goes jim. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
