    The flywheel side runs the electric clutch. The other end runs the driveshaft to the hydro transaxle

    TurboDiesel is close I believe...and I think there are quite a few others too...Tim would know who is in the area...and maybe someone could "FHC relay" it closer to ya...you'd probably hafta come to backwoods savage' GTG in a few weeks to get it though (Michigan) but you need to come to that anyways... ;) :D

    I do.

    I like this idea, because I could bring the old kohler engine and we could compare the magnum 18 to the kt17 over a beer or 5.

    It's close to bullet proof. Or are you meaning the beer? Or the chit?

    I would be glad to pick this engine up. Give me the name and address of who has it and I'll bring it to the GTG. It should be no problem as I plan to bring my truck.
