V-8 drill

"Carpentry is just more satisfying with the roar of a V8 engine ringing in your ears."

This is something I have wanted for a long time. But on a lawn mower. I have hand-tingles and mower vibration is irritating. That one-banger!! Why not use a better-balanced plan? Like a Four or Eight?

This Toyan is actually as powerful as the small B&S flathead. To do that it turns 3.5X faster, so need a 3.5:1 gearbox to keep the mow blade tip-speed down to quasi-legal-limit.

seen a clip couple days back where the "smart" kids put a saw mill blade on a Kawasaki dirt bike in place of the rear wheel, the bike was "pinned" at the foot pegs so you could tilt fwd. load wood, tilt back, cut.
