Brent Fabian 57 #1 Posted June 23, 2019 So I have finally gotten around to starting my wheel horse build. First thing I am starting with is the engine, nothing too important or significant modification here. It is a predator 79cc from harbor freight, cheap and simple. The only modification that you need to do to put it on your 400 is remove the predator gas tank and run a fuel line to the original tractor tank, and re route the exhaust, as the standard predator exhaust exits directly into the hood support. Other than that, they bolt directly into the holes for the original k91 motor. I also discovered the threads for the steering sector gear on this one are different thread than the ones on my other horse, as I ran the bolt into the hole it pretty much flattened the threads on the bolt. But its in and it works. This is the easiest part of the build, can't wait to continue the build, next up is getting wheels to fit! 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d like to see how that 79cc works for this project, maybe we’ll build one a Kohler and one Predator powered RJ! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
