I'll set the TH18-s aside for now. I've been having one issue after another with it and parts are no longer available for it. I got a lot of use out of it so I definitely can't complain. The footprint for the Predator is only 2mm different from the Kohler. Just have to see what I need for the adapter shaft mod on the flywheel side. thought that I had an extra one laying around but I cant find it so I need to pull the kohler off to get the shaft off it..

I know a lot about a lot of things BUT I still have a lot to learn.
Life is what you make of it. So, why not make a working machine to make it easier.
