If anyone around SE Qld wants a 16HP Vanguard single cylinder engine, I have one here that I won't ever need.
It was brand new on a Murray mower in 2000 when we bought it and I think it would be lucky to have done 250 hours since then. I loaned it out to a bloke while his mower was broken down & he used it a few times and it's been in his shed unused for a few years. I brought it home a couple of months ago and put some fuel & a battery in and it fired right up. Runs sweet as.
Can't really measure the shaft size as it has the pulley still on, but as best I can measure, it's about 1" diam and about 120mm long. Mounting holes are about 180mm apart on the RHS, & 150mm on LHS (viewed sitting in the seat). The rear holes are about 190mm apart.
If anyone can use it come & grab it, or the whole machine. There's also a brand new Carlisle 18x8.5x8 rear tyre on it too. Hydro drive isn't working. Deck pretty rough.
Could crank it up and do a video if needed.
