Wayfat,

Leman is correct, here is one of the best websites for cross referencing between mower make and engine model numbers.  I have a TVM 195 (8hp) and a TVM 220 (10hp) myself.  http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=tecumseh&mn=143-951010.

Kevin,

Building my son's JP Class mower to take a 1 1/4" rear axle later on down the road.  Right now it has a 3/4" axle and I got everything I needed at BMI for the 3/4".

Colton,

BMI Karts has them for $9.95 p/n - 400239.

I.D. is 3/4" and O.D. is 1 1/4" and double keyed.

www.bmikarts.com

I'm sure there are other places but, that's where I got mine.

Good luck,

In 2012 with the US AP Class being opened up to allow the 10.5 hp OHV's I've had to strongly consider the motor direction I should go with while building this chassis.  Putting all money aside as far as what an individual is willing to put into his motors.  If you only have one motor, no matter how good it's potential and the chances are very slim of ever having 2-3 backup cylinder/flange assemblies, as a wise racer should. Then spending $2000+ in custom, engine specific parts and labor doesn't seem wise for any man’s wallet these days.  This "may" be better off in the hands of someone who's currently running one and needs another backup!!!  Anyone's thoughts here?

I think I've made my decision!  I want my driving skills to be the only reason I'm not up front!

Thank you everyone for the inputs.

The Tecumseh Enduro 18hp starts at 29.9ci as well as the Kohler Command 18hp at 29.9ci.  If you did the identical mods to each engine, why is it that the Kohler is a more powerful engine?

Midwest is the name of the shop that bores it out and put a new sleeve in it.  Is there more to their name or an address?
