[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 11988, member: 82"] I see no reason why the onan will not work, even though its under powered it still should operate the machine. Being hydrostatic drive, you don't need ALL the power all the time. You can simply back off and it uses less power from the engine. It would at least tell you what the hydraulics/hydrostatics are like. From my experience, when you get a machine with a dead engine like you do, they hydraulics should be fine as they would have been working up to the time the engine gave out. I bought a 743 with a dead engine, hole through the block. Threw another engine in and it was perfect! I would assume another engine and you are set to go. The setup you are talking about i sort of know about, some run a flex plate with rubber mounts bonded to it to allow for flex. You may also want to consider using universal joints to link the pump to motor if need be. The way you describe the bell housing, that makes it even easier as most engines are available like that, you just need to match it with the correct sized one. At least you sound like you know what to do, there is always a way around problems, i have heard of people changing out a dead engine with one from a VW Beetle! if you have the patience just about anything can be fixed!.
