SousaKerry 501 #3 Posted June 27, 2011 remove the engine mounting bracket and bolt directly to the frame. You will need the correct oil pan and the PTO setup from a 10HP or larger tractor to make it work properly, the 8hp motors have a smaller drive shaft and used a smaller pto setup (this is unless your 14 came from a Johnny Smear then the shaft size is the same) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SousaKerry 501 #5 Posted August 28, 2012 Whichever 4 holes fit. it may help to put the belt guard on the tractor and bolt it to the motor to get the engine in the right spot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
