Another new guy - near Cincy - Hello

I own a 100 that I use to trim mow before using the 185 or the EX2900. It is a about a 63 model that my dad bought used in 1965. I presently run a Tecumseh 11 hp on it but I have a rebuilt 12 hp Kohler that goes back on when the Tecumseh wears out. No complaints on the Tecumseh. A lot of things I don't know but I know where to look for info.

I fabricate and rstore and repair old trucks.

The 185 is a loboy. Small engine warehouse used to offer the engine called an 11 hp Sport with conversion parts. I will send a pic when we get home from camping.

There is an aluminum spacer about 2" thick that came with the engine that the OE flywheel bolts to. It has an electric starter and the engine charges the battery thru the OE voltage regulator.
