Out of all the threads I have come across, all the threads I have read... (including the tractors posted in this thread) I see some discussion about bearings among a few members. However, I haven't come across a thread in which the owner actually did a swap, and had issues with PTO thrust with regard to the bearings in Predator engines (i.e... I haven't seen/heard of any issues/failures). Don Edited June 13, 2022 by Snoopy11 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill D 1,926 #78 Posted June 13, 2022 I picked up a GT1142 with a Kohler command swapped in. I made a plate to mount to the block and used the original GT1142 drive pulley with a new thrust bearing from NAPA to mimic the original Briggs thrust bearing setup. Worked great. If someone had the ability to machine the backside of the drive pulleys for a thrust bearing, it would be easy to copy. The GT1800/1848 pulley and clutch setup would be the ideal starting point for hydro tractors. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
