The original engine that was in it had the driveshaft to the hydrostatic drive connected to the fan end, and the mower running off the output shaft which faced forward in the tractor. When I drive the transaxle off the shaft of the new engine I'll be spinning it in the opposite direction. The variable piston pump shouldn't care but i'll need to set it in reverse to get it to go forward now. The only thing that may be an issue is the charge pump that feeds the main pump motor assembly, just thought of that. Will have to do some head scratching on this one. Thanks for ruining my evening Steve.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
