thanks for your reply! I recently spoke with a dealer rep of Mast Lepley out of apple creek, ohio (they are the largest steiner dealer in the usa). I was talking to him about how I love my machine but its underpowered. He claims that kohler has a 30 hp engine that is a retro fit for any steiner. He says its actually smaller in size than my 18 hp b & s.
He said it would be $3,500 for the kohler put in. I would rather put it in myself for the cost of the engine if it is viable. You mention the axles possibly busting with say.... a rototiller. Is there a way to "beef up" the axles? I know that you said you think I should sell it and get another machine, I think your right but i just want to make sure I give it my all before I go that route. Thanks again for your insight!
