| I have a 8hp honda with a thread crank I need to turn down to 3/4in. Ill probably end up taking it apart and doing it on the lathe... but I have to wonder if about bolting the engine down and using a stout cross slide to "lathe" the crank down as the engine is running. | |

| If you can indicate the crankshaft parallel to the lathe bed then it's probably doable. In theory | |

| It occured to me that GT6K is a good name for this as I did swap a Kohler into it. Gonna change the name to that now.
Although it did come with a Kohler stock...
...eh, I still like GT6K better than the whole mark ii thing | |

Springs don't do much anyways. Sure doesn't look that overpowered, sorta innocent looking actually. Lol ![Craftsman GT6K - Page 3 20190616](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20190616.jpg) I think I'll shorten the steering shaft, i don't like how high the wheel is now | |

| Had to turn down some screws to work with the old cabinet hinges i found. Cabinet hinges themselves needed some modification but i don't think that's worth showing. ![Craftsman GT6K - Page 3 20190617](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20190617.jpg) Anyways the hood is hinged to the dash now. Opens easily and actually sticks open on it's own due to things not fitting right but we'll call that a feature lol. ![Craftsman GT6K - Page 3 20190618](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/19/56/80/22/20190618.jpg) Also it turns out the little seat fits on the original seat mount so I just bolted it on there. I felt like i needed a tetanus shot sitting on the old one. Next: Shortening steering shaft, supporting dash, battery box needs to happen too. | |
