Well it has been remade.
I replaced the engine with a 1.25 inch 4130 steel shafts with bearing bridge, turn down to 0.88 to make it press fit into the cutter head then welded it on. The cutter head is driven about 80% of engine speed.
I put my old Honda gx390 on there and it had plenty of power, but it was old, had been ran without a functional air filter for years before I got it so the rings were warn out and it was burning a ton of oil.
So I upgraded it to a predator 459cc.
