Cyclone Rake engine swap with Predator 212CC

[@FlakJakIt]

I watched the video, but don’t have the means to make this exhaust extension. Is there anyway I can purchase one made from you? Thank you

[@smlakergirl]

Same!

What did you do about the step key that comes with the sleeve not being thick enough to engage all 3 keyways? And what about gap on end between impeller and shaft?,,, You need special key made and step spacer ,, l had to make them on metal lathe and mill

@@georgespangler1517 I used the key and adaptor sleeve I showed in the video with no issues 3 years later

Very detailed video, good job. Is the shaft on the cyclone and your Predator tapered or straight? I have an older agri fab with a broke impeller that is obsolete and am thinking I could swap the old metal impeller for the poly impeller from cyclone rake. My agri fab has a 7hp briggs and stratton with a straight shaft.

What is the length of the extension for the new exhaust pipe? I’m currently doing the same engine swap on a Dixie Chopper zero turn

I done a predator 212cc swap or repower10 years ago on my Cyclone Rake Commercial as i used the Rato non Hemi engine as the muffler was my problem as i used a elbow off a junk 208cc snowthrower engine as i had to cut and bend the muffler pipe and add a muffler deflector as its what i did at the time as today i should get a Briggs & Stratton XR950 muffler with the wire shield and deflector from Jack's small engines as they are $69. same thing if you put in a Honda GX200 commercial grade engine the muffler is the problem as taryl fixes all calls it the Muffkin. watch his video Trac Vac engine swap won't fit big problem. it shows how he modified a hemi 212cc engine to fit a Trac Vac to replace a worn out Briggs & Stratton Intek engine. My Cyclone rake was a tecumseh engine as it had carburetor issues as Tecumseh is no longer in business and the parts are no longer available as its not worth repairing the engine as the predator engine is the cost effective way to go. as today Cyclone Rake only gives you a Briggs & Stratton XR950 208cc engine as its problems a plastic camshaft and the compression release goes out on it as the predator 212cc is the way to go if you get the Briggs & Stratton XR950 wire guard muffler and deflector for the Cyclone Rake application as well as the Agri Fab vacs

that's just what I did to mine
