[AT] Predator Engine/Tiller update

[Richard Fink Sr]

That sounds good Charlie mine should be here Tuesday. If it fits where bs 
was all i will need is pulley and belt. The old bs had a 1 in. shaft and the 
new one is to have a 3/4 shaft.
Good luck your weather is about like ours not really garden weather yet.
