Does anyone know the typical engine rpm for something like a 16hp v-twin (MTD 42" Riding mower, maybe)? I'm starting a new project to mis-use a MTD 618-04381A transaxle and am curious about how fast the engine runs? I know the size of the pulley on the transaxle and have a rough idea of the pulley that would be on the engine, I'm just not sure how fast the engine might run.

For the curious, I'm building a 48vdc yard cart (similar to: https://www.amazon.com/SuperHandy-Utility-Wheelbarrow-Electric-Capacity/dp/B08FXFDR5G).
Whereas I could just buy one, I already have the transaxle, batteries, charger and frame materials. Add a suitable 48v motor and controller and this could be a fun little project.

PTO speeds are pretty well universally around 3500

Around 3,200 rpm.

We'll follow the progress .
