| Well I do indeed have a big surprise(literally) today. For a stinking deal of $150, I picked up a 20 HP briggs opposed twin. Incidentally it came off a Craftsman. This is one beast of an engine. I can't wait to put it on.  | |

Alright, then I'm good. Thanks. | |

- Not sure what your particular starter pulls. Personally I think 50 amps is probably plenty, but it might warm up if you hold it too long.
Guess ill get an solenoid then :p to be safe. | |

This Monday, if all goes planned, I'm going to have one humdinger of a surprise for the tractor. Stay tuned. Things just might get bumped up a notch. 
It even has a 3 " pulley on it and a starter solenoid. 
I love that idle. 
Notice the train horn on the seat. It's mostly done. Just have to make a permanent mount and a paint job.
