| So i am building an off road mower. And i would like several opinions on how to use a horizontal shaft engine on a lawn tractor. Im hoping to use a 212 predator. Im open to making a simple mule drive but i need to know how to do that. And i am hoping that someone comes up with another way of doing it. | |

| Get a transmission from a wheel horse or a Sears with a horizontal input shaft or get a centrifugal clutch or torque converter from a go cart and chain drive that to a live axle. | |

| But the thing is I want to keep the all wheel steering. I mean I guess I could just keep the trans and if I ever wanted to put it back on I could. | |

| It’s a goner. And it would be better cause I would need a battery if I kept using that engine and with the predator I would only need the pull start that comes with it. And every time my friend fixed it something would break on the engine. | |

| Could have a RAGB somewhere in the mix, but then you have to find one, mount it, get two belts, and possibly make a custom clutch. Probably be much simpler to just stick with a vertical shaft engine, haha. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* Garden Tractor Collection: Allis B-110 x2, 710, 716, & 410 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic, G10 & 1668 Diesel Swapped - Cub 106, 124 & 1000/149 Frankentractor - Ford 120, LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss - Moto Mower 710-100 | |

| Another thought is to figure out what it would take to fix the vertical shaft engines you have. There's lot of guys on here that can help you with that. | |

| Oh I thought maybe he found out something else was wrong or something. Yeah if it's still that same issue I'd make sure the fuel line/filter wasn't clogged, and give the carburetor a good cleaning. Then hopefully it'll be good to go! ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* Garden Tractor Collection: Allis B-110 x2, 710, 716, & 410 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic, G10 & 1668 Diesel Swapped - Cub 106, 124 & 1000/149 Frankentractor - Ford 120, LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss - Moto Mower 710-100 | |

No just kidding, don't do that lol. I had a mini bike with a sheet metal patch riveted over a hole in the side of the block. The motor ran good, but the patch did leak oil so I had to top it off frequently. One day I was riding it and the motor threw another rod through the sheet metal patch! | |

I patched the side case of a 5hp briggs Flathead with jb weld. Depending where the hole is, some strategic JB weld shouldnt be a problem. Carl, you just need some ultra black on that patch and re-rivet. Good as new! | |
