Has anyone found a cheaper way to repower? Most of the engines I have found do not come with exhaust. And they want a LOT of money for an exhaust.

My old Dixie XW2500 with a 60 inch deck ate the engine today (Generac). Are there any cheap plug and play engines out there?

Been a fun coupla mowings with the newer Dixie I bought. I TRIED to use it to mow the front yard like I have done for years with the old dixie (about a 1998). It has the original dixie tires (which are hopeless if it is wet!). Yep, got it stuck. Flagged down the wife (who was merrily mowing away...

I have an XT3300 Extreme that I bought without an engine. I bought the engine and assorted parts and planned on putting it all together myself......Well time has gotten away from me again and I wimped out and took the mower/parts to a local shop. They got the engine installed OK, BUT they now...

We have an old '89 Dixie that we bought a repower engine for a couple of summers ago. I THINK the engine is running too slow. I FINALLY bought a new tach and it runs about 1890 rpms without the blades engaged. I thought my old engine ran about 2100 rpm. Where can I find the proper speed for this...
