According to the model from under the seat, it's a 2001 year model.
and two different engines were used, one looks like an opposed twin flathead
and the other looks like a v twin Overhead valve engine.

Transaxle is a Hydro Gear 310-510 (MTD PN 918-0319)

The pulley comes off after you remove the nut holding it on. You will need section of old drive v-belt and a strap wrench to hold the pulley while removing the nut.

Input Speeds
Maximum: 3000 RPM
Minimum: 1800 RPM

This at the transaxle input pulley and not the engine's RPMs.

and also, is there a performance kit that you know of i can buy so i can increase engine horse power like cam shaft, pistons, flywheel, air box, etc
if so could you send me a link, because since i cant pulley swap, ill just put biggwer tires on, but bigger tires makes you lose torque even though you go faster, so i would like to change a few parts so it makes up for that loss of torque

The Hydro is limited to a maximum wheel diameter of 20" which would the 20 x10 - 8 wheel that is probably already on it.

Do you have an opposed twin or V twin engine?
