Thanks Norm,
Front wheels are 8" Sanli. They are almost new of a base that I took the motor off. I made an adjustable fore/aft link so I could get the blade disc attitude correct.
Pulley worked out easy just machined a recess for the PT blade boss on the back of the existing pulley, can still use it up the other way for a FC.
I needed to lift by about 20 mm as I expected. Got the pulley height pretty close to the 34mm you suggested. I made a spacer by cutting off the whole skirt of a PT that I had here that was straight fueled.
The top cover is from a PT utility I bought recently, I just put an ordinary PT top cover and fuel tank that I had here on that one. My yard is pretty small can easily mow the lot on just one ordinary tank.
The fuel tank is the original Super 24 tank. It does not leak but there are some obvious looking cracks. May not work out in the long run. I'll send the Utility handle tank with the 24 in case its needed.
I'll send all the rest of the original stuff including a side pull full crank (SPFC) motor as well.
Not sure about the exhaust. It seems perfect for that front slot but I noticed later that it exhausts directly on the belt.Belt might get contaminated, do not know..Might have to deflect it a bit.
Definitely would not do it again. Too much work. In the midst of all this (after I had done most of the conversion work on the 24) I picked up 2 SPFC's cheaply one of which seems good enough to use on the 24 if necessary.
Thanks again for all your help Norm
Jeff
