Hi all, a couple of seasons ago the transmission failed in the riding mower I was using. The rest of the machine is in good shape. A replacement hydro unit, or even sourcing a used one was at or more than the value of the mower. Its capabilities were marginal for my property anyway (steep slope, no diff lock, no ROPS, etc) so I took the opportunity to upgrade.
I still have the mower. The engine ran very strong and is still in good shape. It's a Briggs "Extended Life Series" vertical shaft V-twin with approx. 220 hours.
I can wire and definitely assemble things, but am no fabricator when it comes to welding. Wondering if any of you have, or have seen an interesting use for something like this engine. I'd love to do something with it other than have it sit in the barn.
