Located in Nova Scotia Canada, guess the Home Hardware and Canadian Tire bags gives that away, lol. Things are getting pretty busy here on the farm so my time with my beloved skid steer is limited. I did manage to figure out that the Kholer engine has to mount in “backwards” in order to keep the...

The drive pumps are belt driven, and the boom pump is direct drive. The mounting flange you talk of would certianly work, except I need at least 3” to have the clearance to get outside of the engine covers. There apears to be plenty of space to move the engine forward or backward to accomidate...

The old onan(linamar) is plain wore out. All my other gear on the farm runs on Honda 20-24 HP V-twins so it would make sense that I put one in the ols skid steer. Easier said than done. The onan mounts in backwards, with the engine power being taken off of the huge case iron cooling fan, the...
