BTW, went "industrial" on the rear frame this morning and did the c-channel job on the driver's side. drilled a series of holes on all sides of the c-channel, spot welded it to the tube and then welded down the length on the open side of the c.

Anyone have an ideas as to how much of an improvement powerwise a 9 hp robin would be? 2.5 hp, lol ... I can get one with with converter--very minimal run time for 400. Just curious as to what type of powerband it has. I'm surprised with the tecumseh, drove it up a 45-50 degree freshly-cleared-of-scrub-woods-rocky-hillside the other day and not a slip (15-20 foot elevation gain over 40-50 foot distance). what's that ...the manual says that's not allowed??? uh oh ... ))))
