Many welds and all safetys removed. The gas tank and seat also caught fire. 7 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spareparts 84 #25 Posted July 27, 2017 Around here we have several pullers using the Preditor engines with good sucess,most are in the Cub's, curious to see how it handles the belt. The pullers that are using the Preditor say it is mostly cost, for the price of building a good strong Kohles they can buy 2 preditor. Plus the lighter weight allows them to adjust their weight placement better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
