I got thinking this morning and I realized I have almost enough parts to build a franken-horse-ish machine.
I have a 1976 model 826 Cub Snowblower my grandfather bought new.
I'm just not ever going to use it as a snowblower.
I haven't had the mind to do anything with it yet but I've thought about changing that engine onto something else several times over the years.
It has an 8 horse Briggs and Stratton that runs very well and was always meticulously maintained.
It has a starter on it that my father's friend added at some point and he would just charge the battery between uses.
That would make a neat power plant for a ... but !! It has no charging system.
I'm figuring there was a tractor or something that may have used a similar engine set-up....?
So... How Can I add one?
@PeacemakerJack, I'm bringing you in here because I think you'll be curious to hear the ideas as well.
