I have a K-341 in a 1986 Wheel Horse 416-8, and any vibration is virtually non-existant. Its a solid mounted engine, and the crank is perpendicular to the frame. Any thoughts on this???
I almost posted about a neighbor I had in Wilmington MA that had a WH with a 16HP.

That thing would shake your teeth out!!, And LOUD!! I had a K321 powered 86, compared to his, mine was smooth and quiet.
