Newbie here, and MMT seems to have wealth of info floating around so hopefully someone can answer my question. Can I take a Beavertail frame that had a 31HP vanguard (engine blew) and do a 1 for 1 swap with a Honda GX630 without any major modifications to the frame? The shaft diameters are different so the yoke will have to change and the PTO heights have a .012" difference. Thanks for any help in advance. |

Ok so I got the new to me frame home. I didn't realize I was getting the blown engine too but maybe I can sell it as a parts motor. I ordered my new GX630 today and need this monster off the frame. I'm have a hard time getting the u joint off. I'm slowly tapping it off the shaft but it'll take a while. Any thoughts or tips? I'm sure there is a very simple way I just have no idea.

Guy I got it from said he hit a log and popped the motor out of the water. A short while later Sparks and oil flew everywhere and this was the result. It looks as though the governor spring was disconnected. Maybe it just spun apart? |

Only time I've seen that happen, the connecting rod came out the side. Usually a lack of oil thing... |

Yes all the set screws are removed and I filed down the spot welds on the keys. A guy I work with is gonna help me out. We'll use his tractor bucket to slightly lift it and then we are gonna hear the u joint and slowly tap it off. |

Ok wd40 did the trick just fine. I got the new u joint, prop and motor today and what do you think... Yep bolt patter is off and I need about 1" spacers under the motor to match the previous PTO height. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Also where do you guys have your alternator's rectifier mounted? It says not on the engine for vibration reasons but the only place I can come up with is the u joint cage so not sure if that's any better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Very nice build / swap. Do you mind to find out who makes the vinyl wrap and name of the pattern? Thank you in advance! |

Never seen a vinyl wrap, but pretty sure that's Max-4. I've seen guys send their cowling off to get dipped (water imaging) and turn out pretty good. It's kinda pricey though. |

Thanks. It is Max-4. Next time I see him I'll ask about the vinyl. It was just scrap he had lying around. |
