Has anyone done a swap with a tapered shaft engine? I was thinking about getting a 31 HP Vanguard engine from small engine warehouse but the wisconsin has a tapered shaft and the Vanguard has a 1-1/8" shaft Has anyone fabbed up a 1-1/8" shaft to tapered shaft adapter? I was thinking about taking a 1-1/8th collar and welding it to some stock rod that was milled to the taper on the wisconsin moter. One other idea I had was to swap the pump from the 630 with a pump from a different model with a keyed shaft but this might be more complicated and expensive. I haven't taken anything apart yet and I don't have a parts diagram so at this point I haven't got a good look at the pump side of the motor and the pump setup. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this swap?
