Horizontal to Vertical
« on: March 10, 2007, 09:19:02 am »
  I just recieved a free good running Vanguard 16 hp. My question is can you convert it from horizontal to vertical? What are all the parts nessesary?  Curiosity killed the cat you know.    Thanks KEVIN

I'm pretty sure its been done succesfully before.  It would probaly be easier to stay horizontal or get a vertical.

Horizontal "---" TO Vertical   .."l"...???

There have been a couple guys looking for the Vertical to switch them into Horizontals...

Maybe you guys could make some kind of a swap...???

Maybe the pan from your 20 horse will fit.

If the pan is changed, you would have to use the crankshaft as well they are a little longer.  Ryan
