I am planning to swap my 1998 Bigfoot 18HP vanguard to a 2009 23HP vanguard out of frontier. Will my clutches and tranny hookup match the 23HP setup? What about the muffler, what type of muffler/exhaust manifold will I require? Has anyone completed the swap? Any suggestions or concerns?
Not sure about the Kohler, but the 28HP Subaru has a 1-1/8" shaft 3.9" in length. So my big question is can I make the stock ARGO clutch fit, or do I need to replace the clutch?
If I do need to replace the clutch, where can I get one and how much?
The Subaru does have a muffler kit for $150....just not sure how much "Macgivering" is required to make her fit???
No Your Argo drive clutch will not fit as its for a 1" shaft, MFG Supply did carry the comet 780 for 225.00 plus shipping with the 1-1/8 bore but I don't see it right off hand.
Im using a clutch from a Argo conquest I had one laying around its a 1-1/8" hole to run the Argo wide belt which came on the older models I wont need to swap out my secondary clutch Im hoping the kohler bolt pattern is close to the briggs.
If you are asking me, no hook up issues, engine compartment tighter but fits and I'm no mechanic. It's cold in R.I. so heat issues we'll see. I got the motor for $500.00 shipped after selling the 18 so I couldn't pass it up. May go Kohler later if this one is a problem. I made some mods with heat in mind pm me and I'll elaborate.
