formariz 11,987 #2 Posted March 20, 2021 I am not sure how wise that is. Unless one is a gluten for punishment of course. I think the idea is to make her forget what she is mad at quickly and not give her a lifetime reminder of it. Just a thought from a successfully married man of over 30 years. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darb1964 1,042 #4 Posted March 20, 2021 I've been married going on thirty six Years and at this time have ten wheel horses and a Kubota. I'm not sure how many it would take to end that run. I'm hoping it's not eleven or twelve or, she's stayed with me through my late teens and twenties, multiple tractors, mere child's play. Is that international for sale? 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gregor 4,846 #13 Posted March 20, 2021 I have to wonder, what the reason was was locating the motor, between your legs, with all that available space. It looks..............empty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have often wondered about that. Suppose a Guy did want to mount 2 motors.(just because he could) how "matched" would they have to be? Would 100 RPM difference be a problem? 200. If they had to be perfect, I don't see how you could do it without a slip clutch, or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
