baby morbark might be worth picking up

[toyotadadon]

seen this today and was thinking of picking it up i know its a baby but the price might be worth fixing i know the guy selling it and might be able to get away with a small crawler dozer large trailer, a homemade stump grinder that looks like a frankenstien creation. thinking me might take 1750 for the lot.

Great boat anchor

...another small engine perhaps the stock Honda. I bought a brand new Seven though not a big one certainly has it's place.

I cannot see how you can put 65 where a 35 was, everything else would have to be changed.

Like the man says, a good boat anchor.

...I still see the potential , if taken out of service due to dead motor I bet everything else still probably works pretty good.

I would risk that purchase also. Especially if on a budget and without a chipper.

All I'm saying is that that's a hell of a difference in power, apart from the gearing of the belts to the wheel, you've got a hydraulic pump running off the engine that might cause issues plus the general build quality which might collapse under that much extra grunt.
I'm not too mechaniky, maybe I'm wrong. Just saying like.

 

[rskybiz]

If I wasn't handy in the mechanical area that may have made me think differently.

Swap for the Honda ! Even if you need some wrench help... Sell the big Winnie ...
