Good to hear! Apparently my father knew his. My dad said he'd do a good job.

Here is my big project DD jeep.

Bummer that one is for a 1" shaft or I'd take it! I'm hovering over the buy button on this one, I just want to find out 100% that it will bolt to my engine...

Well, the shaft is at Canfield (local machine shop) and will be ready for pickup early next week, and the work was quoted at only 40$. Also good news, this engine is a bit bigger than I had first thought, this thing is a 297cc engine! That should be good for a decent amount of power! I'm...

I'm pulling the shaft today to have it machined, I am also shopping for a torque a verter. I seem to only find them good to 8hp, would my 9hp kill it? or is the bolt pattern different?

Definitely helps. Thanks Rob. I am going to see about removing the shaft, and having the local shop turn it down to 3/4 and cutting a keyway 3/16" wide. But how deep? That would be an easy option I had not really thought of.

need torque converter for 9hp As the title states. I have a 9 horse B&S engine from a newer generator. I removed the coil, and found that only the last 3/4" or so of the shaft is tapered, the rest of the shaft is 7/8" diameter, I know I will need to cut a keyway, and was contemplating doing so...
