scotty 252 #1 Posted April 25, 2015 I read somewhere that predator motors cant use a side wheel horse pto. Im wondering if it would hurt it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,619 #2 Posted April 26, 2015 Scotty, I may be new here but I have been around tractors for years.The Kohler engines have ball bearings that support the crankshaft and will tolerate a side load such as the Wheel Horse PTO.The Predator engines that have ball bearings should not have any problems with a side load within the limits of an inexpensive Chinese bearing.Any engine that uses anything other than ball bearings should have a side load designed into its makeup to live with the side load imposed by the Wheel Horse pto,such as the Onan P series.I don't think that there should be any failures related to bearing issues with any engine having ball bearing supported crankshafts.JMHO JAinVa 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
