Hi Gary T here,
Can anyone tell me if I can put a larger engine on my ride on mower? I currently have a 10 HP on an old Craftsman LTV/10. The mower is in good shape, just needs an engine, and I think it could use more power? Anybody got any ideas? Thanks

Your biggest limit is going to be what engines will fit the shaft pully you need for your tractor... larger engines have larger diameter shafts beyond certain ranges.
