Default Parker lawn vacuum
So i have been avoiding this Parker lawn vacuum in my lawn since i brought home my 1512 as it didn't run and i was not that concerned about leaves. I've been messing with the newer 5HP briggs and stratton for a day now and who ever worked on this thing last shouldn't ever again. The carb is trashed and has so many stripped threads it's not even worth rebuilding and a new one is 110 from what i found.

So this afternoon i went down to harbor freight for a 212cc predator engine i use these engines in my hopped up mini bikes with great success. I installed the engine and had to use a mini bike exhaust for now till i come up with something permanent. I got the engine installed and filled with break in oil runs nice and quiet and seems to do a decent job and collecting leaves till i can find a smaller tractor mounted trac vac setup.

Great job with the conversion. I missed out on one of those a few months ago down here and wish I got it. The old peco I have is missing a key part which makes me end up very dirty. Looks good

Do you have a picture of that exhaust that will clear the blower housing and where one could get that exhaust?

This thing is very dusty when it is running i am going to try using a smaller screen on the top to see if that helps at all.

Here is a smaller one John. It rests on the rear axle with no wheels. I have two of these and they work great!! Also nice for a carry all for wood logs, trash can, neighborhood dog, cat, chipmunks, etc....

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
