Stan, what happens when you try to post the picture? Do you get an error or? Make sure that the photo that you are trying to post is in "jpg" or "gif" format not "bmp" format. Also the file size has to be 50kb or less I always shoot for less than 49kb to be sure. once you have your picture file in the proper file type and size then try posting it. The picture will not appear in the preview however an image will appear, it toggles between "your image here" and "Oops I goofed!" pulled by a Cub Cadet. This is normal as your image has not been uploaded yet. If you see this you are on the right track. If your text looks good then click on the "post this message" button then you'll be prompted for uploading your image file. You'll have to browse to where your file is then select the file and upload it. Good luck!
Stan, Ah! Please post more pictures of that! How about some detail pics?
Stan, what's the HP on that 4cylinder engine?
Stan,
You've beat me to it. I have 4 of those engines and have been slowly collecting parts, tools, and info to put them in cubs. I've been slowed by a house remodel project and lack of cub funds but almost have an old welder rebuilt so now I can get serious.
I have done several paper designs afer some trial fits and finally concluded the drive needed to be something like what you have done. I will be installing in a hydro and also want to be able to run a pto. If you have any more pictures I would really appreciate them.
Also, what did you do about a starter? I finally picked up an engine that had the shrouds and a starter but they are 24 volt. Certain Mazda starters can be modified to fit and that is the way I am going. There is a Yahoo group for the engine and you can find the starter details there.

Myron,
Because I am a total DIY type (and retired/funds limited). I may rewind it myself. Besides, that's only one starter and I need at least 4 total. The 12v starters are a lot lighter and smaller. The guys in the Yahoo group are mainly interested in small aircraft so they found a better one. The weight is not so important for a cub but availablity is. The Mazda starter needs machining to fit, I am looking at another way of doing it.
BTW: They claim around 20 hp if they tweak the engine a little. A guy in Florida has been testing for at least a couple of years now.

Stan, thanks for the additional photos. I'm with Lance, I like it too!
Stan,
That looks great. You might look at starter/flywheels from an outboard. They are small, 12v and pretty powerful. The geared flywheel might be a good fit. Don't have a recommendation for any particular one. There must be a place where outboards go to die.
Just a suggestion.

I don't remember what show it was (Bryan, it's the one I met you at), but there was a fellow there that had a 2 cylinder MilSpec diesel on a modified chassis with a CC rear.
He even added a small Mitsubishi turbo to his.
Very nice rig BTW!
