Will the exmark stub shaft work with it? Surely Kubota makes a shaft for this engine I am sure it is used in applications that require it.
The 482 was great, but would lug down with three or four adults in the machine.
The clutch is a Salsbury 780; common on a lot of amphibs. Whipper machined the stub shaft for me, so it was perfect. He doesn't frequent the site any more, but any machine shop could probably fashion one for you. Others on this site have made their own with good results as well.
Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.
