it doesnt have any numbers on it its was an 8hp 33 in cut I just put a motor on it the guy said it was a late 70s maybe early 80s modle it has the handle bar steering on it

The engine is not sitting level or the wheel is not on the shaft level. Start the engine and see if the wheel has any wobble if it does make sure it is on the shaft right or it could be warped. If not your going to need to shim up one side of the engine.

Look anything like this? See where the serial # is.
Good luck

the handle bars look alike but they had to trim one side off to put the 12hp on it fender I guess

I think thats it but just went and checked no plate

i picked up 2 similiar to these shown, problem was where the serial # is supposed to be must be somewhat of a bad spot to have. reason being is both of them are missing the tag for the serial #:frown:

Your right! The "plate" is a stick on type. Mine is readable, but it never ride again. It is Yard Art or
a parts machine if some one needs a part. I have never run the numbers on the tag to see the year made.

A stab in the dark...

Make sure the drive disc isn't contacting the chain case; I had one make a similar noise and the disc was mounted too low on the shaft. The proper distance from bottom of engine (where it sits on frame) to the drive disc surface is 3-7/8" to 4".

Perhaps the allen screws are loose and the disc is slipping down a bit. Good luck!
