Less Peerless Ness
So tearing down the Bolens and the transmission is unusable.
Busted leg exposing internals. and the brass bushings are whacked.
So with that being the case or lack of case depending on how you look at it...
Using a vertical engine is likely out...Making a 90 transfer box with pulleys and sprockets is possible but somewhat defeats the hobbled cheapskate approach.
Another possible option is a $200 6.5/7hp horzontal shaft 210cc ebay clone...I suppose our version of the USA predator 212. slap a centrifugal clutch and some sprockets...
Still defeats the hobbled together cheapskate approach...
So I'll part out the peerless 700...try and cover my fuel and $11...
Store both the Brigss&Stratton flatheads in case my 17hp Tecumseh on the Murray mower shits the bed.
Sell the Greenfield superficials like drive and deck assemblies.
And as for whats left of the Bolens...think I'll cut my intentions short weld on a draw bar and make a different kind yard cart...The tow a trailer behind a mower kind.
