The hydraulic pump was mounted just below the distributor on the engine block if memory serves. The engine was tired, and at that time it was over $2700 in parts to rebuild it, over $3700 to replace it. I opted for a Honda 27 HP horizontal shaft engine for $2300 with a 2 year warranty. not the torque of a Wisconsin, but plenty enough for a machine that size. I still had to build a hydraulic pump mount and muffler/ exhaust system, but the advantage of a dependable motor was the goal. Pretty sure stuffing a motor and radiator is a challenge.</p></blockquote><p></p>
