The older Vangard engines had a separate fuel tank & a fuel pump. Don't know why they changed it. Lucky that the Predator had the right mounting holes, and a 1" shaft for the centrifugal clutch.

@@2Years2Farm we've been running it commercially at our mill for over a year now with no major issues. The dipstick for the oil seemed to come out easily while it was running. The grommet on the dipstick didn't fit snug in the tube, so I added an O ring to the center groove on the grommet and haven't had an issue since

I replaced an existing mill with this mill. The previous mill had been down for 3 weeks. 5 weeks without making any product is serious even for large operations. That 2 weeks that we were supposed to get our engine back from Briggs turned into 2 months. Buying this engine saved me from closing the doors. I would have been down 3 months with no product. You also forget that most orders have deadlines, we would have lost every contract that we had

When it's your first month running it, it can really hurt the wallet. Especially when you're relying on it to make tractor payments, truck payments, insurance, mill payments, etc. It ended up being almost 2 months before we got the Briggs back. Two weeks really would have put a hurting on us, 2 months would have done us in. You may have been born with a silver spoon in your mouth and have a nice nest egg to get you through. I on the other hand have to work every day just to keep what I have and put food on the table.
