I would also consider a diesel, but I can't find a deal on one to make it worth doing. The best price I have found on the 31 HP is around $1799 with exhaust. I think the motor will be shorter with any of the options so one other thing you may want to plan on is making a stand to lift the motor up and adapt it from the current bolt pattern. One thing I have noticed is that while the HP numbers are higher on these motors the torque foot lbs seem to be lower than the Wisconsin engine. Should this be a concern? Does anyone know if the u-joint is tapered on the pump side or if it is a keyed shaft? I wonder if you could use the shaft from a similar model?</p></blockquote><p></p>
