C-175 repower was created by GT 14

Got the 175 apart and pressure washed today, might do some painting but the major deal with be the new engine. I am going to commit a sin and put a 22 hp Predator engine in it. Could not resist the price, 563.9$ with tax and shipping. Previous owner had taken out the Kohler and installed an Onan and it took a qt. of oil for ever tank of gas. I may rebuilt it some day but for now this will do.

GT, I can't wait to see how this turns out. That's a really nice looking engine.

Yea Major I think it will be a good fit, even has an oil cooler. Probably a week or so till I get it.

Looks like a cool engine. But I've always wanted to see someone put on a one cylinder diesel engine on a wheel horse.

i just looked these things up, you better put some weight on the front. The thing only weighs over 100 lbs. Be doing wheelies while mowing the lawn. All though that would be pretty cool.
