Tommy: The "K" series engines are not like the junk 12hp's you get now. They were very large CI motors for the HP. I have a 10HP (A 1050, looks just like the 1210 but the 1050 is gear drive.) I ran a 50" deck with it until this year. (I put a 44" on this year.) Granted, you can't feed it as fast as you can a twin cyl 18HP, but it still cuts the grass. One more note, the 1050's engine is lets just say.... tired.
