Its pretty good for the money,I put one on a 701,you will have to make a base plate,but it ain't hard to drill a couple holes.

If you want to go original I know where there is a Commando V7 sittin in the weeds. They want too much for it, that's why it's still sittin but hey, you never know!

Ditto on the Predator engine. Got

one for 99 bucks with coupon.

Put it on a 27" walk behind snow

blower. 2 hp less than the Briggs

that ate a ring. Starts first pull and

plenty of power.
