I have a 111 with 11hp. I’m having trouble hooking a newer 17hp engine swap to the PTO…IS IT POSSIBLE?
Yes it is possible,a Briggs Stratton 17 hp was 200+ cheaper than 11hp, don’t remember where i bought, it has to have a step down shaft, if i remember correctly, it been a couple years back now, had to add on/off switch, electric shut off on carburetor, maybe something about 12 volt to run pto, the 11 hp had 9 volt ??? 4064805351, will get motor description mark
