953 nut 51,646 #5 Posted April 23, 2017 Not a direct bolt up but a 3/16" steel plate bolted to the frame and the frame and the new engine will do the trick. Lots of information on this site from folks who have done it; Just search Predator and see what others have done. Good looking tractor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
