Preditor pto

[jeremi3210 688]

Iam gonna put a 670 preditor on my gt1800 and was wonder what is everyone running for a pto. It says it has ball bearings on the crank but iam not sure if it can handle the side load of the stock setup or to look for a electric pto. Any advise would be great!

Hey Jeremi,  seems like someone pointed out they are the same part number as a Kohler bearings?  DON’T quote me, but I just recall that story.

To be safe, I think that I would use an electric clutch.

Or get the extended warranty

You can run the WH pto assembly on a Predator 13,no problems

In my opinion, the best you can have. I was shocked when i heard they had ball bearings and a iron sleeve for that money. A steal in my opinion.

Got it done! Thing runs and drives great! Can't wait to use it this spring! I decided to give the manual pto a try, guess someone needs to get this question answered once and for all right! I used steves 8hp shaker plate i got from @pullstartjust had to make solid mounts and drill 2 hole to mount the motor. Oh and put in a hole for the drain plug! Hopefully it will make a oil change! Lol!! Everything thing else lined right up! The exhaust i had to bring out and up about 3 inches. Still interested if anyone else has tried this with this motor or not! The wiring i used a battery power ignition switch and put in a relay for the kill switch.
