| Id personally go for a briggs L-head, or more commonly known as a flathead. They are dependable, cheap to replace and for the most part respond to mods really well. I dont know how big they get, but the biggest flathead single I've seen so far is a 13hp. Good luck on your search for a motor! | |

| So here are this pictures that I promised. This first one is a general mock up of the front ![deere - John Deere 108 "SRT 24" [2016 Build-Off Entry] - Page 2 Image15](https://i.servimg.com/u/f84/19/34/75/62/image15.jpg) Before I got the 820 in the frame I had to notch out a little bit so the case didn't hit the frame but if course I notched out a to more than I needed to but oh well ![deere - John Deere 108 "SRT 24" [2016 Build-Off Entry] - Page 2 Image16](https://i.servimg.com/u/f84/19/34/75/62/image16.jpg) ![deere - John Deere 108 "SRT 24" [2016 Build-Off Entry] - Page 2 Image17](https://i.servimg.com/u/f84/19/34/75/62/image17.jpg) And I have been trying on getting the 8hp that came with it running smooth and I'm almost there | |

| I would go with a flathead. I have never had luck with OHV or OHC engines, every one of them died within 2 weeks of me installing it. I have found the 12hp briggs flatheads to be very reliable. I have only killed one, and that was because it had sat out in the weather for 6 years before I got it and had been utterly worn out before that. I pulled the fan shroud off and drained the oil out of it, and it snapped the rod at 4500 rpm for 60 seconds. The other flatheads I've owned have never died on me. I roll them over, hold the throttle wide open while racing and pulling, and they just don't die. | |

Thanks guys it really means a lot, even though it's not the best paint when you look up close but oh well I'm slowly getting better at it. I seem to always put some sort of strip on the Lawnmowers I modify, I don't know why besides that they look cool, does anyone else like putting a strip on the hood of their mowers? | |

| Alright guys it's been a while but this is update #4. So since it's been warm over here in michigan I've actually had some time to work on my stuff. And since it's spring peoe are trying to make some space by getting rid of stuff and at good prices too, so anyways I got my hands on a yard-man mtd lawnmower with a 15hp kohler command ohv for 50$ and it has all brand new tires that I may or may not use but its good to have extra tires, when I got the mower it wasn't running but with a little time it was back up and running like new the only thing that took a little time after fixing the motor was getting the engine pulley off and cleaning the shroud because it looked green from sitting outside for a while. I currently have the engine fitted into the 108 I just need a shorter dipstick of some kind because the stock one hits the hood besides that everything clears. The next big step is wiring the ignition and the electronic fuel pump that I installed, oh and it's grass cutting season so now I've got some money coming in soon so I can get my tires wheels and hubs but it's still gonna be a while before I've got all the money. Sorry for not having pictures my internet doesn't like me right now but I will get them uploaded asap | |

| Alright so almost no progress has been made to the 108 mainly because I have no money to get any parts so right now it's kinda just sitting in my garage with a block under the front and a block under each of the axle shafts ![deere - John Deere 108 "SRT 24" [2016 Build-Off Entry] - Page 2 Image11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/34/75/62/image11.jpg) | |

| Depends on how old, and if it is horizontal or vertical shaft. i know in the 60s and 70s, the sears suburban were equipped with either a 16hp or 18hp briggs and stratton horizontal shaft flathead, or a tecumseh engine. cant remeber the size on the teccys. but those were cast iron and heavy, but reliable. My grandpa is running an 18hp in his suburban, and it just keeps goin and goin. he has had to do nothing to it but regular maintenance. Flatheads arent as efficient at the ohv engines, but are much less complex. personally for mudding mowers, i prefer the flatheads. they have decent low end power too. | |

| I'd advise against flipping the axle upside down, because all the weight is on those E clips. What you could do is weld a washer on to the end of the shaft, but that means you couldn't remove the spindles if you wanted to. Predator should do you well. | |
