So I ran power from battery to inline fuze holder, to switch then switch to PTO.  PTO grounded to engine.

I know this is an old topic, but  I am hoping someone can clarify some things for me. I am attempting to replace a KT19 Series I in a C-195. The 22hp Predator seems like a good option given there are not a lot of options.The documentation is not as detailed as I would like, but I see no indication of ball bearings in the version of the engine being sold today. Some others posted it might have ball bearings. That could be an earlier version. They do not list the alternator output, so I cannot confirm that it is sufficient for an electric pto, but it would seem that it is since that's what others have done. I do see an internal thrust washer in the diagram. Has anyone tried to replace that with a torrington bearing? I wonder if there is enough room because that might be a way to use the manual clutch. Lastly, I am guessing that Predator engines share parts with a brand name engine. I see it advertised to replace a Honda GX630 or a Vanguard. I doubt it is a Vanguard clone because those have ball bearings.I would like to know I can get parts from other sources than HF. Being stuck ordering parts from HF is enough to hold out a little longer for a deal on something better supported. I have a K532 that I would love cram in there if I could find a governor for it. Ebay sellers are asking $200 for the governor. The cost of a governor and a rebuild kit is getting to the point that a new Predator is tempting.
