I was surprised that the pulley from the old engine fit perfectly on the new Harbor Freight(HF) motor, all I have to do is get a new bolt to secure it to the HF motor but all the mounting holes lined up, so I'm surprised it's working out so far. The HF motor cost $119.99 but I got a supper coupon for $99.99 so that turned out to be a deal, as long as everything else works out OK. I do see one issue with the throttle cable not lining up but even if that does not work out, it will not be a big deal because they are designed with a large lever, on the motor, so having to reach down to the motor to slow it down, will not be hard, just won't be able to do it while tilling. With all the warm weather we are having now, it's a good opportunity to get out a till my garden before Spring[cool].
