I have a late 70's Bolens H14XL (I think the model number is 1458) Its a little wimpy for my needs. I have some steep hills and I use it to move boats and trailers around.
It has a 1-cylinder Tecumseh (14hp) that has remarkably low hours. There is nothing wrong with it, but I'm thinking if I just had a wee bit more oomph I could postpone investing in a compact utility.
I'm concerned about overpowering the hydrostatic drive. I'm a hotrodder by trade, so I think in terms of a high-powered stroker in front of a stock tranny. I have access to a Honda GX690 (22hp) V twin. Will I kill it with that much power?
