I have seen that and studied and visited Yellowstone. It may very well be a factor in the End Of Days. :wink:

Beautiful interesting place to visit right now though!

Obviously I was just poking fun at our areas. :P

The local Chamber Of Commerce here advertises '330 sunny days a year'. I wonder what they mean. That still leaves room for 35 really crappy days. Also if it's cloudy cold drizzly and overcast for 23 hours and the sun breaks out for an hour in the afternoon how do they chart that? :roll:

Pictures coming soon. I need to take some of the wheelhorse. I believe it has a broken rod. :cry: Time for China Power. :lol:

Yes, you need a genuine, Chinese engine for that mower! :lol:

Spud :)

How many ponies are you thinking, Kato?

I would like to go with a 9hp clone. Originally it would have had a 7hp.

I'm guessing that's a 1" horizontal shaft; is that right?

Not sure. I will have to look. The smaller engines are 3/4".

The newer engines up to 6.5hp have a 3/4" shaft, IIRC. Everything bigger gets a 1" shaft.

I can find a pulley to fit either. Most likely I will sell the kohler for parts and just buy a running china powerplant. The hood is rough so I don't mind modding it to fit the engine too.

Do you want me to check Princess for a pulley? I'd need specs.

I am going to the farm store soon. I am sure the have them. Need to see what is on there first.
