Cvans 1,009 #26 Posted December 22, 2019 I've never felt that the steering effort was a problem. As a matter of fact the ease of steering is one of the things that I liked about the conversion. The sound and torque is the other. To mount the engine all that was necessary is two pieces of 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1/4 angle welded across the frame rails with the leg up. The engine itself will act as structural reinforcement to the frame. Many full sized tractors have no frame rails at all. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
