Ok I looked up the specs here's a link.........

Oops that's copy of your link........ I didn't see that link for some reason.... But how much of that shaft is sticking out of your engine ?????

I am not sure. I have not gotten my puller out to remove the pulley. I guess I thought we could determine the answer to that question from the PDF you found.

Mr. Conner, yes, I will do my own checking. I think the Vanguard is the way to go. Since this machine is not a tractor, it is a motor sitting in the open on a pedestal, so I have a LOT of wiggle room on dimensions and lining up PTO's.:thumbsup:

Here's an oddball question. On these new Vanguard engines, the throttles look like they are built onto the motor. How does one convert that to something that would work with a cable and a handlebar throttle? Just buy a throttle plate for it?
