Dixie Chopper engine replacement

[Barnpoppy]

Update on the Dixie Chopper engine project. I installed the FX921V Kawasaki 31hp. The regular muffler fit the Dixie Chopper perfectly. The shaft on the engine was a bit long, but I used a shaft spacer to adjust. I made my own harness using the old Dixie Harness and some connectors from a mower shop. Fired it up today and everything seems to work just fine. Total cost to repower this beast was $2626.80.
I think it will be well worth it. Thanks to those on this forum who lent their advice.
